“All emotion receded, pulled out like low tide, leaving my brain an empty ocean bottom”
“Empty words show an empty mind, and silence speaks most eloquently of all.”
“I read trash. Empty cereal boxes, empty shampoo bottles, the bottoms of empty Kleenex boxes, and occasionally even a mystical self-help book.”
“The wine glasses are empty except for that one undrinkable red spot at the bottom.”
“Something is lost, but a person does not know what it is; this feeling is indescribable in words, and therefore, it can be experienced only as the emptiness.”
