“You and I are the sum of a void left by the absence of someone we love.”

“This is love, she thought, isn't it? When you notice someone's absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?”

“We return to the void we never left, for Mehay is the center of all, and all is the center of nothing.”

“‎"When you left -- he left -- you took everything with you. But the absence of him is everywhere I look." - Bella Swan, New Moon”

“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.”

“...nor can we know ahead of the fact the unending absence that follows, the void, the very opposite of meaning, the relentless succession of moments during which we will confront the experience of meaningless itself.”
