Quotes About Nothingness

Strange, it is a huge nothing that we fear.
~ Seamus Heaney
Nothingness, after all, is simpler than any one particular existing thing ever could be; there is only one nothing, and many kinds of something.
~ Sean Carroll
my youth, one time, that time I knew even through the nothingness, it was a celebration of something not to do but only know.
~ Charles Bukowski
If you go down in history, don't take it too seriously because time will come and there will even be no more history, just nothingness!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
You will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me...
~ Mark Twain
Les murs sont infiniment nus. Rien n'y est suspendu, rien de les définit. Ils sont dépourvus de texture. Même à l'œil le plus aguerri ou aux doigts les plus sensibles, ils demeurent illisibles. Vous ne trouverez jamais ici la moindre marque. Aucune trace ne survit. Les murs effacent tout. Ils sont en permanence lavés de toute trace. Obliques, à jamais obscurs et vierges. On a là le parfait panthéon de l'absence.
~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Looking everywhere, even though there's absolutely nothing, nothing anywhere.
~ Mark Z. Danielewski
Don't think, I told myself. Think nothingness. But even nothingness was something. It was a thought.
~ Markus Zusak
The nothing nothings.
~ Martin Heidegger
Das Nichts nichtet
~ Martin Heidegger
What could be more alien to the they, lost in the manifold 'world' of its concern, than the Self which has been individualized down to itself in uncanniness and been thrown in the nothing?
~ Martin Heidegger
I hope you can find some consolation from Christianity's affirmation that death is not the end. Death is not a period that ends the great sentence of life, but a comma that punctuates it to more lofty significance. Death is not a blind alley that leads the human race into a state of nothingness, but an open door which leads man into life eternal.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
You can also look upon our life as an episode unprofitably disturbing the blessed calm of nothingness.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
That which has been exists no more; it exists as little as that which has never been.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all real value.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
How quickly self rises to the surface, and the instrument is ready to believe he is something more than an instrument! How sadly easy it is to make of the very service God entrusts us with a pedestal on which to display ourselves. But God will not share His glory with another, and therefore does He hide those who may be tempted to take some of it unto themselves. It is only by retiring from public view and getting alone with God that we can learn our own nothingness.
~ Arthur W. Pink
Anche dalle apocalissi si può tornare indietro, se uno ha il coraggio di guardarci dentro. Ma voi non avete questo coraggio. Parlate di tutte le apocalissi, meno che della vostra. Lasciate pure a noi spiriti l'ultimo colpo di spada. Non posso spiegarle cosa accadrà, Hacarus. Tutto ciò che è troppo diverso da quello che siete soliti pensare, voi lo chiamate nulla. Bene, dopo di noi ci sarà il nulla. E in questo nulla qualcosa ricomincerà.
~ Stefano Benni
but also that it is possible that nothing caused the Big Bang. Nothing.
~ Stephen Hawking
Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
~ William Shakespeare
Death doesn't make you sad- it makes you empty. That's what's so bad about it. All of your charms and beliefs and funny habits fall fast through a big black hole, and suddenly you know they're gone because just as suddenly, there's nothing left at all inside.
~ Jonathan Carroll
nada se cria a partir daquilo que não existe, porque se assim fosse, tudo se criaria a partir de tudo, sem necessidade de sementes.
~ Epicurus
A morte não é nada para nós, porque o corpo, quando está dissolvido nos seus elementos, não tem sentimento, e o que não tem sentimento não é nada para nós.
~ Epicurus
God desires the sinner to turn away from the darkness of his own nothingness and void and come to himself, to draw life from his life. Sin is grounded in an illusion concerning my own alleged greatness and worth in my own eyes. Repentance is grounded, not in a desire to abase myself, but in a clear understanding and a profound conviction of my great worth in the eyes of God.
~ Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis
