Nothing Quotes (page 159)

It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are. Jean-Paul Sartre
The poetic impulse is distinct from ideas about things or feelings about things, though it may use these. It's more like a desire to separate a piece of one's experience & set it up on its own, an isolated object never to trouble you again, at least not for a bit. In the absence of this impulse nothing stirs. Philip Larkin
When we're all gone at last then there'll be nobody here but death and his days will be numbered too. He'll be out in the road there with nothing to do and nobody to do it to. He'll say: where did everybody go? And that's how it will be. What's wrong with that? Cormac McCarthy
Leo Tolstoy quote: "...the more he did nothing, the less time he had to do anything."
...the more he did nothing, the less time he had to do anything. Leo Tolstoy
To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising very slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill. For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing. J. R. R. Tolkien
I know that I shall die struggling for breath, and I know that I shall be horribly afraid. I know that I shall not be able to keep myself from regretting bitterly the life that has brought me to such a pass; but I disown that regret. I now, weak, old, diseased, poor, dying, hold still my soul in my hands, and I regret nothing. W. Somerset Maugham
Dorothy Day quote: "Writing is hard work. But if you want to become a writer you..."
Writing is hard work. But if you want to become a writer you will become one. Nothing will stop you. Dorothy Day
Follow the path of your aroused thought, and you will soon meet this infernal inscription: There is nothing so beautiful as that which does not exist. Paul Valery
He and the girl had almost nothing to say to each other. One thing he did say was, 'I ain't got any tattoo on my back.' 'What you got on it?' the girl said. 'My shirt,' Parker said. 'Haw.' 'Haw, haw,' the girl said politely. Flannery O'Connor
Johnny Depp quote: "You gotta be careful: don't say a word to nobody about nothing..."
You gotta be careful: don't say a word to nobody about nothing anytime ever. Johnny Depp
I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The shit hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become. Henry Rollins
The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create. Chuck Palahniuk
Jack Kerouac quote: "I was suddenly left with nothing in my hands but a handful of..."
I was suddenly left with nothing in my hands but a handful of crazy stars. Jack Kerouac
George Orwell quote: "Apparently nothing will ever teach these people that the other..."
Apparently nothing will ever teach these people that the other 99 percent of the population exist. George Orwell
If we stay where we are, where we're stuck, where we're comfortable and safe, we die there. We become like mushrooms, living in the dark, with poop up to our chins. If you want to know only what you already know, you're dying. You're saying: Leave me alone; I don't mind this little rathole. It's warm and dry. Really, it's fine. When nothing new can get in, that's death. When oxygen can't find a way in, you die. But new is scary, and new can be disappointing, and confusing - we had this... Anne Lamott
