Empty

Famous quotes containing the word empty:

    In vain we lavish out our lives,
    To gather empty wind;
    The choicest blessings earth can yield
    Will starve a hungry mind.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    In the eighth, Hermanski smashed a drive to the scoreboard. Henrich backed against the board and leaped either four or fourteen feet into the air. He stayed aloft so long he looked like an empty uniform hanging in its locker. When he came down he had the ball.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
