“...the Waldorf looked like one of the dead and empty spaces which collect about the exit of a man who has lost a million in an hour.”

“I look all-woman on the outside, but inside I’m empty. Dead. A vast space of nothingness.”

“A man who has been dead for a week in a hot trailer looks more like a man than you would first expect.”

“It is like a piece of my soul had been lost, empty, and it is now filled with the light of a million stars.”

“It has always been my experience that, whatever groupings I choose for my books, the space in which I plan to lodge them necessarily reshapes my choice and, more important, in no time proves too small for them and forces me to change my arrangement. In a library, no empty shelf remains empty for long. Like Nature, libraries abhor a vacuum, and the problem of space is inherent in the very nature of any collection of books.”

“Anyone who doesn't believe that the forest is a deadly place has never been lost in one.”
