“I was as hollow and empty as the spaces between stars.”
“If hers are the stars in the nighttime sky, mine are the haunted empty spaces in between.”
“I had known loneliness before, and emptiness upon the moor, but I had never been a NOTHING, a nothing floating on a nothing, known by nothing, lonelier and colder than the space between the stars. It was more frightening than being dead.”
“The spaces between stars are where the work of the universe is done.”
“The world is only tolerable because of the empty places in it...when the world's filled up, we'll have to get hold of a star. Any star. Venus, or Mars. Get hold of it and leave it empty. Man needs an empty space somewhere for his spirit to rest in.”
“You don’t know how to converse. Sometimes I think the spaces between the stars are filled with your silence.”
