“The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.”
“My whole life revolves around your absence until I can't remember what I do, what I know. Or where I go.”
“In the absence of the life you want, what will you do with the life you have?”
“Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.”
“A certain person may have, as you say, a wonderful presence; I do not know. What I do know is that he has a perfectly delightful absence.”
“Darkness is the absence of light. Happiness is the absence of pain. Anger is the absence of joy. Jealousy is the absence of confidence. Love is the absence of doubt. Hate is the absence of peace. Fear is the absence of faith. Life is the absence of death.”
