Salma

“At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that's like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Education of the Stoic: The Only Manuscript of the Baron of Teive

“What had been quiet and restful was now silent and empty.”
― Frederick Barthelme, Elroy Nights

“[in the true mad north] of introspection,
where 'falcons of the inner eye'
dive and die, glimpsing in their
dying fall, all life's memory of existence.”
― Lawrence Ferlinghetti, A Coney Island of the Mind

“We hear only our own voices, still echoes returning to our emptiness.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, The Sun Watches the Sun
