Back and back the planes had come with their hail of bullets, while sampans sank and went under. Back and back until there was but one empty sampan left drifting on the water. Then the planes had come no more— not for one empty sampan. It had drifted silently— empty.

Empty pockets never held anyone back...it's only empty heads and empty hearts that do it.
Norman Vincent Peale
Originality is going back to the place where you were what you were—and finding an empty chair. Would you gladly sit on it? No, thank you. It is empty for a reason. That’s where my ass was. Not where my head is now.
Giannina Braschi
That feeling of terrible emptiness when I touched him was like going into a house that you thought would be full of people you loved, only to find it empty, and even the furniture taken. You walk from room to room, hearing your footsteps echo on the naked floors. Your voice bounces back from the empty walls, where the lines of beloved photos still show like the line around a body at a crime scene. He was gone.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Oh, how empty is praise when it reflects back to its origin!
Charles de Montesquieu
He lies in an empty room
With his hair burnt to the back
It sure sounds funny
When you say his name like that.Kurt Donald Cobain
