• La fe no es aferrarse a un santuario, sino una peregrinación sin fin del corazón. El anhelo audaz, los cantos ardientes, los pensamientos atrevidos, un impulso que embarga el corazón, que usurpa la mente: todos ellos son un impulso hacia el servicio a Aquel que hace sonar nuestro corazón como una campana. Es como si Él estuviera esperando entrar en nuestras vidas vacías y perecederas.

• Para mí, hay un estigma asociado a interpretar papeles bonitos. A menudo son personajes vacíos en torno a los cuales transcurre la acción. Me atraen más los personajes con una vida interior compleja, que tienen una frustración ardiente en el fondo que les hace seguir adelante.

• Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul's journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.

• The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded.... I fear that, if the green movement's high-amplitude warnings over GMOs turn out to be empty, people will be dangerously disinclined to listen to other and more serious warnings.

• The whole material world. It doesn't actually exist. Matter is not material. It's made up of atoms that are moving at lightning speeds around huge empty spaces. So as you go beyond the appearance of molecules, you end up with a subatomic world, and if you go beyond that you end up with nothing. Nothing is the source of everything.

• Come hither, all ye empty things,
  Ye bubbles rais'd by breath of Kings;
  Who float upon the tide of state,
  Come hither, and behold your fate.
  Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
  How very mean a thing's a Duke;
  From all his ill-got honours flung,
  Turn'd to that dirt from whence he sprung.

• Since philosophy is the exploration of the rational, it is for that very reason the apprehension of the present and the actual, not the erection of a beyond, supposed to exist, God knows where, or rather which exists, and we can perfectly well say where, namely in the error of a one-sided, empty, ratiocination.

• The sole work and deed of universal freedom is therefore death, a death too which has no inner significance or filling, for what is negated is the empty point of the absolutely free self. It is thus the coldest and meanest of all deaths, with no more significance than cutting off a head of cabbage or swallowing a mouthful of water.

• Ningún niño debe ser educado para suponer que su comida y su ropa bajan del cielo o que son milagrosamente conjuradas desde el espacio vacío por papá. Por repugnante que sea la idea del deber (como la idea del trabajo), debemos habituar a los niños a un sentido de obligación reembolsable a la comunidad por lo que consumen y disfrutan, e inculcar el reembolso como un punto de honor.

• All empty souls tend to extreme opinion. It is only in those who have built up a rich world of memories and habits of thought that extreme opinions affront the sense of probability. Propositions, for instance, which set all the truth upon one side can only enter rich minds to dislocate and strain, if they can enter at all, and sooner or later the mind expels them by instinct.

• When a man grows old his joy
  Grows more deep day after day,
  His empty heart is full at length
  But he has need of all that strength
  Because of the increasing Night
  That opens her mystery and fright.

• There is room enough in human life to crowd almost every art and science in it. If we pass ""no day without a line""-visit no place without the company of a book-we may with ease fill libraries or empty them of their contents. The more we do, the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
