We only labor to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the understanding unfurnished and void.
Michel De MontaigneRead
As a cultural-intellectual power and a moral ideal, collectivism died in World War II. If we are still rolling in its direction, it is only by the inertia of a void and the momentum of disintegration. A social movement that began with the ponderous, brain-cracking, dialectical constructs of Hegel and Marx, and ends up with a horde of morally unwashed children stamping their foot and shrieking: "I want it now is through."
Ayn RandRead
Help publicly. Help privately. Help make sense where sense has gone missing. Help science to solve and faith to soothe. Help, and you will abolish apathy-the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.
Tom HanksRead
For no part of Creation is left void of him: he has filled all things everywhere.
Athanasius Of AlexandriaRead
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca The YoungerRead
The man who is praised by others is regarded as worthy though he may be really void of all merit. But the man who sings his own praises becomes disgraced though he should be Indra, the possessor of all excellencies.
ChanakyaRead
Silence is the root of everything. If you spiral into its void a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear.
RumiRead
Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void.
Simone WeilRead
People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone.
Milan KunderaRead
It is very hard to live with silence. The real silence is death and this is terrible. To approach this silence, it is necessary to journey to the desert. You do not go to the desert to find identity, but to loses it, to lose your personality, to be anonymous. You make yourself void. You become silence. You become more silent than the silence around you. And then something extraordinary happens: you hear silence speak.
Edmond JabesRead
The void in our society has been produced by the absence of values... we have no widespread belief in the value of participation. The rational system has made us fear standing out in any serious way.
John Ralston SaulRead
Change is the end result of all true learning. Change involves three things: First, a dissatisfaction with self - a felt void or need; second, a decision to change to fill the void or need; and third, a conscious dedication to the process of growth and change - the willful act of making the change, doing something.
Leo BuscagliaRead
We do not stray out of all words into the ever silent;_x000D_ _x000D_ We do not raise our hands to the void for things beyond hope.
Rabindranath TagoreRead
This was the void. Not blackness, not nothingness. This was what lay beneath the thinly painted scrim of reality.
Neil GaimanRead
If you are never alone you cannot know yourself. And if you do not know yourself, you will begin to fear the void.
Paulo CoelhoRead
It seemed to me the way it must feel to people who cut themselves on purpose. Not pretty, but clean. Not good, but void of regret. I was trying to heal. Trying to get the bad out of my system so I could be good again. To cure me of myself.
Cheryl StrayedRead
Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all.
Alexander PopeRead
Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void. - You've Got Mail
Nora EphronRead
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeRead
At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that's like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void.
Fernando PessoaRead
A certain something, he felt, had managed to work its way in through a tiny opening and was trying to fill a blank space inside him. The void was not one that she had made. It had always been there inside him. She had merely managed to shine a special light on it.
Haruki MurakamiRead
