“Ah, but when one predator leaves, another inevitably will take its place. A void never remains a void for long.”

“When you can see the love of God through your struggles and you don't need another person to fill a void, you're in a pretty good place.”

“When one is nothing, one invents. It fills a void.”

“To fly is the opposite of traveling: you cross a gap in space, you vanish into the void, you accept not being in a place for a duration that is itself a kind of void in time; then you reappear, in a place and in a moment with no relation to the where and when in which you vanished.”

“Love is as simple as the absence of self given to another. God, when invited, fills the void of any unrequited love; hence loving is how one is drawn closer to God no matter its most horrific repercussions.”

“And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean, when boredom seems the very stuff of life.”
