Empty Places Quotes

By my existence I am nothing more than an empty place, an outline, that is reserved within being in general. Given with it, though, is the duty to fill in this empty place. That is my life. Georg Simmel
The world is only tolerable because of the empty places in it...when the world's filled up, we'll have to get hold of a star. Any star. Venus, or Mars. Get hold of it and leave it empty. Man needs an empty space somewhere for his spirit to rest in. Doris Lessing

I could tell you that I came back because I had promises to keep, but maybe it was because nobody asked me to stay. Joan Didion
Leo Tolstoy quote: "Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love..."
Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be. Leo Tolstoy
The adult world may seem a cold and empty place, with no fairies and no Father Christmas, no Toyland or Narnia, no Happy Hunting Ground where mourned pets go, and no angels - guardian or garden variety. But there are also no devils, no hellfire, no wicked witches, no ghosts, no haunted houses, no daemonic possession, no bogeymen or ogres. Yes, Teddy and Dolly turn out not to be really alive.
