“One answer to why public interest in men's tennis has been on the wane in recent years is an essential and unpretty thugishness about the power-baseline style that's become dominant on the tour. Watch Agassi closely sometime...he's amazingly absent of finesse, with movements that look more like a heavy-metal musician's than an athlete's...what a top PBer really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion. It's awesome, but brutally so, with a grinding, faceless quality about its power that renders that power curiously dull and empty.” MenYearsLooksHas BeensFilmSportsInterestAnswersQualityWatchesStyleMovementEssentialsMusicianEmptyUnionsAthleteHeavyTennisDullRebellionSovietMetalsDominantSoviet UnionAbsentPublic InterestHeavy MetalFacelessFinesse Author:David Foster Wallace

“Here's the number one reason Americans are heavy: The brain, very smartly, wants nutrition. But the average American is not eating nutrients; he or she is eating empty calories. So you finish that 2,000 calories and your brain says, Keep going until you get nutrients.” WantReasonNumbersBrainEatingEmptyAverageHeavyKeep GoingNutritionCaloriesVery SmartNutrients Author:Mehmet Oz
“Freddie experienced the sort of abysmal soul-sadness which afflicts one of Tolstoy's Russian peasants when, after putting in a heavy day's work strangling his father, beating his wife, and dropping the baby into the city's reservoir, he turns to the cupboards, only to find the vodka bottle empty.” SoulTurnsFatherCitiesWifeSadnessBabyEmptyHeavyBottlesDroppingPeasantsReservoirsVodkaCupboardsStrangling Author:P.

“I turn and I look back across the lake. The mist is gone and the ice diminished, the drip of the icicles quick and heavy. The sun is up and the sky is blue empty blue light blue clear blue.

“I wish I could explain it so someone could understand it. I'm afraid it's something I can't put into words. There's just this heavy, overwhelming despair - dreading everything. Dreading life. Empty inside, to the point of numbness. It's like there's something already dead inside. My whole being has been pulling back into that void for months.

“I’ll wait for you. Come back. The words were not meaningless, but they didn’t touch him now. It was clear enough - one person waiting for another was like an arithmetical sum, and just as empty of emotion. Waiting. Simply one person doing nothing, over time, while another approached. Waiting was a heavy word.” PersonsEnoughWaitingEmotionClearEmptyHeavyMeaninglessDoing Nothing Author:Ian Mcewan
“I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul. Soul is at home in the deep, shaded valleys. Heavy torpid flowers saturated with black grow there. The rivers flow like warm syrup. They empty into huge oceans of soul. Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances. There is soul music, soul food, and soul love... People need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there But because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit.” PeopleNeedsSoulHomeLightLife IsSpiritGrowsSoundBlackDarkSimpleWhiteLandFlowerHugeMountainOceanAspectFlowRiversEmptyDistanceHeavyWarmDivinityClimbsLakesValleysJewelsSoulfulSaturatedMusic SoulSyrupFood For The SoulFlower Life Author:Dalai Lama
“Realism; fatalism; phlegm. To live in the Fens is to receive strong doses of reality. The great flat monotony of reality; the wide empty space of reality. Melancholia and self-murder are not unknown in the Fens. Heavy drinking, madness and sudden acts of violence are not uncommon. How do you surmount reality, children? How do you acquire, in a flat country, the tonic of elevated feelings?” ChildrenSelfCountryFeelingsRealityStrongSpaceViolenceEmptyMadnessMurderDrinkingHeavyWideAcquireFlatsRealismDoseUncommonEmpty SpaceMonotonyActs Of ViolenceFatalismHeavy DrinkingDose Of Reality Book:Waterland Source: Waterland
