No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Alan Watts
Image
Sometimes--sometimes it just hits me, you know? And, it's not getting any easier. I choke, my eyes flooding all over again. I'm not sure that it will. I think you just get used to the feeling, the hollowness, the loss, and somehow learn to live around it
Alyson Noel
Image
Unlawful pleasure, trenching on another's rights, is delusive and envenomed pleasure—its hollowness disappoints at the time, its poison cruelly tortures afterwards, its effects deprave forever.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
How resilient was the body, to return to its prior form so quickly! Yet the mind was formed of a less pliable substance. The emptiness in her thoughts would not be so easily filled. Instead there was a hollowness among them-a place she had reserved for future joys which now would never arrive.
Galen Beckett
Image
There was something intrinsically sad about Shinjuku. A vacuum-packed hollowness that no quantity of neon could hide. Roppongi was the same, only there the sadness was older and more Western. All that movement to so little purpose. A million strangers searching for a cure to the darkness behind their eyes in the void between someone else's legs.
Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Image
Moralists love to discourse on the hollowness of success about the hollowness of failure they are silent.
Mason Cooley
Image
But how awful would that be? How terrible to live surrounded by the stark, sharp, hollowness of things that simply were enough?
Patrick Rothfuss
Image
I think you can tell, when you meet someone, whether they read novels or not. There is some little hollowness if they don't.
Philip Hensher
Image
When men achieve the fruits of their material success, they often become aware of an emptiness--an incompleteness--in their livesthe hollowness of having, but not raising, children, of not making true commitments to them. Which, sadly, does not mean that they weren't capable of it.
Willard Gaylin
Image
The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
The royal family's existence is a constant reminder of the hollowness of John Major's rhetoric, and idiotic statements by its leading members a constant boost to the republican cause. They're fine opening hospitals. It's when they open their mouths they get into trouble.
Alastair Campbell
Image
I see that children fill the existential hollowness many people feel that when we have children, we know they will need us, and maybe love us, but we don't have a clue how hard it is going to be.
Anne Lamott
Image
Is there not a terrible hollowness, mockery, want, craving, in that existence which is given away to others, for want of something of your own to bestow it on?
Charlotte Bronte
Image
Where we find echoes, we generally find emptiness and hollowness it is the contrary with the echoes of the heart.
John Frederick Boyes
Image
Clay is fashioned into vessels it is on their empty hollowness that their use depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a dwelling, and on the empty space within, its use depends. Thus, while the existence of things may be good, it is the non-existence in them that makes them serviceable.
Laozi
Image
I would enjoy experiencing the hollowness of success at first- hand.
Mason Cooley
Image
The idea of democracy has been stripped of it moral imperatives and come to denote hollowness and hypocrisy.
Paul Wellstone
Image
To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain. And then to want and not to have- to want and want- how that wrung the heart, and wrung it again and again!
Virginia Woolf
Image
The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.
William Goldman
