But if nothing does as well as something about which nothing can be said, it vanishes.

But is there any comfort to be found?
Man is in love and loves what vanishes,
What more is there to say?William Butler Yeats
Beauty vanishes like a vapor,
Preach the men of musty morals.Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford
Even when one has climbed up into those levels of bliss where pain vanishes, it still survives disguised as intolerable ecstasy.
Sri Aurobindo
Grosser light vanishes into eternal rays
Of all-pervading Cosmic Joy.
From Joy we come,
For Joy we live,
In the sacred Joy we melt.Paramahansa Yogananda
The world begins and ends with us. Only our consciousness exists, it is everything, and this everything vanishes with it. Dying, we leave nothing. Then why so much fuss around an event that is no such thing?
Emil Cioran
