Nothin’ much

Nothin’ much

What was after the universe?  Nothing.  But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began?  It could not be a wall; but there could be a thin line there all round everything.

~ James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Still nothin’ much

As to your Newton, I confess I do not understand his void and his gravity; I admit he has demonstrated the movement of the heavenly bodies with more exactitude than his forerunners; but you will admit it is an absurdity to maintain the existence of Nothing.

~ Frederick the Great, Letter to Voltaire, 25 Nov. 1777

Even less

I love to talk about nothing; it’s the only thing I know anything about.

~ Oscar Wilde

A little something (and if you look closely, something within something).

Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.  When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

~ Lao Tzu

Several

Nothing will work unless you do.

~ Maya Angelou

Facing the fog

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

~ Socrates

Sunlight approaches

There are two ways to live:  you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.

~ Albert Einstein

Light and fog

Well, that’s it.  I got nothin’ today.  Or nothin’ much.  I walked.  I photographed.  I have nothin’ much to say.

Illusions

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

~ Winston Churchill

The light of autumn

A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

~ Albert Camus
