“Sometimes there's nothing
to be done.
Sometimes
they're not listening,
can't hear,
don't want to,
don't believe you.
Sometimes
you cannot stop the storm,
stem the tide,
change the path of the ocean liner
even though it hasn't quite yet hit the iceberg.

There will be times
despite all efforts
you will feel
completely misunderstood
completely unappreciated
completely wronged.

Sometimes love
just
isn't enough.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Still the silence raged and echoed around her.

Still she felt nothing.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight

“You can try to paint over the emptiness, fill it with thoughts, fill it with things, or immerse yourself in activities. But ultimately, you will still have to confront the fact that what was once there is now gone.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“To look at you and to feel nothing is the closure that I desire.”
― Bram Stoker

“I would go out under the stars and enter the smallness of being that was mine, and I would disappear into the emptiness within, and it seemed enormous.”
― Mark Strand, Mr. and Mrs. Baby and Other Stories

“In all our searching the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.”
― Carl Sagan

“I sell REAL donut holes. Unlike those fake donut holes, that are composed entirely of donut, my donut holes are made of 100% pure emptiness. There's nothing there, and THAT is how you know you've bought an authentic donut hole.”
― Jarod Kintz, There are Two Typos of People in This World: Those Who Can Edit and Those Who Can't

“Some small part of me whispered that I could survive Amarantha; I could survive leaving Tamlin; I could survive transitioning into this new, strange body... But that empty, cold hole in my chest... I wasn't sure I could survive that.

Even in the years I'd been one bad week away from starvation, that part of me had been full of colour, of light. Maybe becoming a faerie had broken it. Maybe Amarantha had broken it.

Or maybe I had broken it, when I shoved that dagger into the hearts of two innocent faeries and their blood had warmed my hands.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“I would have rather the world ended than this, this thing he had done and this emptiness where he was, where we were-”

“I’m sorry. I don’t want another argument.â€�
“I do,� Dalinar said. “I like it when you stand up for yourself. I like it when you fight.�
She blinked tears and looked away.
“Evi…� Dalinar said.
“I hate what this does to you,â€� she said softly. “I see beauty in you, Dalinar Kholin. I see a great man struggling against a terrible one. And sometimes, you get this look in your eyes. A horrible, terrifying nothingness. Like you have become a creature with no heart, feasting upon souls to fill that void, dragging painspren in your wake. It haunts me, Dalinar.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

“We live in a cardboard era if it is beautiful and decorated outside is not problem of inner emptiness.”
― Kamaran Ihsan Salih

“The days of misfortune are the wish of revenge, but human forgiveness is more sacred.”
― Kamaran Ihsan Salih

“I pray that the one who has tainted my soul is stabbed with nine hundred and ninety-nine blades, the blades of his mistakes and the blades of his consciousness that warned him against his actions. I pray that the one who has tainted my soul is stabbed with nine hundred and ninety-nine blades, the blades of his mistakes and the blades of his consciousness that warned him against his actions. After he has been left to wallow in the chasm of his sin, I will appear, with the final blade in hand. He will not feel any remorse, rather, he will curse at me. For in his mind he has done nothing wrong and he is a victim of injustice. That is fine, because I will not feel any remorse either, as I silence him with the one thousandth blade. Only then can I be at peace and be born anew, The broken will break others, the diseased will infect the healthy, the wounded will bleed onto the innocent, and the victims of monsters will become monsters themselves.”
― Chenson Lee

“Knowledge of our inevitable deaths is the ally of the disconsolate. It is their source of comfort, their devil’s advocate, their excuse, and their hindrance.”
― Chenson Lee

“Think twice before making an enemy out of a man who has lost his purpose in life because his new purpose will be to destroy yours.”
― Chenson Lee

“There’s a particular type of alone you feel when in a room with someone who’s no longer alive, she’s discovering now, and it is the worst kind.”
― Eddie Robson, Drunk on All Your Strange New Words

“Material riches can never feed the hunger that we all possess for the living God.”
― Allene vanOirschot, Daddy's Little Girl: A Father's Prayer

“The steam at the kettle’s spout,
The flame at the candle’s wick,
Rest on an emptiness
Invisible, quick.
The word at the poet’s lip,
The line at the painter’s brush,
Rest on an emptiness.

Hush.
*Shrine poem.* Welling-in-the-Mountains.”
― Betsy James, Roadsouls

“My Daughter

Your smile like the sunshine
your laughter in the rain
I would give all of me
to have you back again.

The Lord took you home that day
now, the missing part of me
at times feels so empty
there’s day I can’t believe.

I dream of your precious love
How it’s missing day to day
my angel went to heaven
while I knell down to pray.

Praying for strength dear Lord
and her laughter in the rain
keeps me strong enough each day
until I see her once again.

Ron Baratono (Poem dedication)”

“I was glad for the silence- even as it became a weight on me, even as it filled my head until there was nothing inside of it beyond... emptiness.

Eternity. Was this to be my eternity?”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“Life can be wonderful if we never live a lie. Living a lie keeps a piece of your heart empty. We can never be totally proud of anything else with that lie resting in our mind. Set yourself free, and be the real deal of a person, even if it means walking away from unhappiness.”
― Ron Baratono

“There was something inexpressibly dreary about the Casino when it was empty, she thought. You could see all of it for what it was worth, and it was never good to see anything like that.”

“The Light of Truth

There’s emptiness without truth
dark clouds rising above
showing a darker shade of gray
taking parts of life you love.

These uncomfortable thoughts
rest heavy all the time
sleep doesn’t come easy
praying God will clear your mind.

Internal love with the truth
shines in a dim lit sky
reaching for the light of truth
that almost passed you by.”
― Ron Baratono

“People don't dare let go of the mind, they grasp onto the mind. They can let go of the objects of the mind, but they don't dare to let go of the mind. Why? We're afraid of falling into a place where we think there will be nothing to feel, to touch, to pick up, afraid we'll have nothing left. But emptiness doesn't mean nothingness.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Battles: Modern Commentary on the Teachings of Master Linji

“God in names & forms is still a projection of your own thought.. and thus, your own mind.

The mind can recall only what is known, the unknown appears in it's emptiness.”
― Meeta Ahluwalia
