“we shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want”

“we cannot let another person into our hearts or minds unless we empty ourselves; we can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness” – m. scott peck

“human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness” – seneca

“courageous – that’s how you see me; successful – that’s how you believe in me; happy – that’s what you expect of me; But…emptiness – that’s what is inside of me

our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. the hardest thing to hide is something that is not thereeric hoffer

once i knew only darkness and stillness, my life was without past or future, but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living” – helen keller
