{"quotes":[{"text":"The situation on Earth today is too dire for us to act from habit—to reenact again and again the same kinds of solutions that brought us to our present extremity. Where does the wisdom to act in entirely new ways come from? It comes from nowhere, from the void; it comes from inaction. When we see it, we realize it was right in front of us all along. It is never far away; yet at the same time it is in a different universe—a different Story of the World.","author":"Charles Eisenstein","tags":["action","doing","earth","habit","inaction","non-doing","problem","solution","story","void","wisdom","world"],"id":18497,"author_id":"Charles+Eisenstein"},{"text":"It's scary to trust and fall in love with someone, isn't it? You accept someone and welcome them to your world. You show each of your voids. You show how dark it is, inside you and how scary it is, to stay there. And one day they will leave. Adding more voids into you making the older one a lot bigger, and making you get darker and scarier than before inside.","author":"Akshay Vasu","tags":["accept","dark","fear","love","scary","time","trust","void","world"],"id":19093,"author_id":"Akshay+Vasu"},{"text":"And I dreamed of a home long ago in New England, my little kitkats trying to go a thousand miles following me on the road across America, and my mother with a pack on her back, and my father running after the ephemeral uncatchable train, and I dreamed and woke up to a gray dawn, saw it, sniffed (because I had seen all the horizon shift as if a sceneshifter had hurried to put it back in place and make me believe in its reality), and went back to sleep, turning over. 'It's all the same thing,' I heard my voice say in the void that's highly embraceable during sleep.","author":"Jack Kerouac","tags":["dreaming","dreams","reality","void"],"id":25295,"author_id":"Jack+Kerouac"},{"text":"What is life without death, Beneficent? You of all people can answer that question. A never-ending orgy of emptiness that you stuff with meaningless activity.

A bit of string, scraps of cloth, shadows of the golden time. If one could only reverse it, turn the past into future, and catch it on the wing, on its journey across the always shifting line of the present ...","author":"Rohinton Mistry","tags":["future","journey","life","memories","past","present","void"],"id":42243,"author_id":"Rohinton+Mistry"},{"text":"Life becomes a dilemma when you are living a purposeless and goalless life.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["blessing","dilemma","employment","finance","goal","goalless","job","jobless","joblessness","life","money","purpose","purposeless","time","void","work"],"id":43179,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"And you have been forever, and will be forever, and all the worrisome smashings of your foot on innocent cupboard doors it was only the Void pretending to be a man pretending not to know the Void.","author":"Jack Kerouac","tags":["angels","pandeism","void"],"id":46210,"author_id":"Jack+Kerouac"},{"text":"My soul is a black maelstrom, a great madness spinning about a vacuum, the swirling of a vast ocean around a hole in the void, and in the waters, more like whirlwinds than waters, float images of all I ever saw or heard in the world: houses, faces, books, boxes, snatches of music and fragments of voices, all caught up in a sinister, bottomless whirlpool.","author":"Fernando Pessoa","tags":["bottom","images","madness","ocean","soul","vacuum","void","water"],"id":50396,"author_id":"Fernando+Pessoa"},{"text":"Detachment is not the absence of emotion, it is the process of becoming one with the Oneness that is the Universe. To be detached, is to realize that the fullness of all there is, is too much to react to with just one emotion, one thought, or any bias. To be detached, is to acknowledge all, without owning any of it. To be detached, is to summon forth the whole entirety of understanding, to the fragment that is the void.","author":"Justin K.
