“Don’t search for a void to fill. Find a vacuum to carpet. Let this be a lesson in love.”
“If nature abhors a vacuum, historiography loves a void because it can be filled with any number of plausible accounts;Howe, Nicholas, Anglo-Saxon England and the postcolonial void”
“Pants don’t walk without legs in them. Let that be a lesson in love.”
“Don’t we all have to fill voids in our lives with something?”
“The first lesson I would learn about love is that it is filled with disappointment. The second thing I would learn is that the search for a cure almost invariably ends up being self-destructive.”
“The spot was empty. Empty but not void. Void is when there is absolutely nothing there and the nothing is natural, a complete vacuum. But empty-with empty, you are aware of what's supposed to be there. Empty means something is missing.”
