Empty

Famous quotes containing the word empty:

“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

“O I am miserable:
You cherished me, my mother,
But even you desert me.
I am sent to an empty place.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

““Long for me the rick will wait,
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold.””
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
