“That's what being shy feels like. Like my skin is too thin, the light too bright. Like the best place I could possibly be is in a tunnel far under the cool, dark earth. Someone asks me a question and I stare at them, empty-faced, my brain jammed up with how hard I'm trying to find something interesting to say. And in the end, all I can do is nod or shrug, because the light of their eyes looking at me, waiting for me, is just too much to take. And then it's over and there's one more person in the world who thinks I'm a complete and total waste of space.” ThinkingWorldFeelsTryingPersonsI CanEndsHardLightEyeEarthAsksWaitingCan DoDarkSpaceInterestingBrainToo MuchWasteEmptySkinsAsk MeStaringShyTunnelsBest PlaceSomething InterestingEyes LookingBeing ShyWaste Of Space Author:Carol Rifka Brunt
“The clothes in themselves are empty. But what they throw off and what clothes mean as signifiers is incredibly interesting - to see what people do with it.

“The problem with movies and books is they make evil look glamorous, exciting, when it's no such thing. It's boring and it's depressing and it's stupid. Criminals are all after cheap thrills and easy money, and when they get them, all they want is more of the same, over and over. They're shallow, empty, boring people who couldn't give you five minutes of interesting conversation if you had the piss-poor luck to be at a party full of them. Maybe some can be monkey-clever, some of the time, but they aren't hardly ever smart.” PeopleIfsWantGivingLooksBookProblemEvilEasyInterestingPoorPartyFiveMinutesStupidConversationSmartEmptyExcitingLuckBoringCriminalsCleverDepressingShallowMonkeysFive MinutesGlamorousEasy MoneyInteresting ConversationEvil Look Book:From the Corner of His Eye: A Novel Source: From the Corner of His Eye: A Novel
“We've fallen for the devil's lie. His most basic strategy, the same one he employed with Adam and Eve, is to make us believe that sin brings fulfillment. However, in reality, sin robs us of fulfillment. Sin doesn't make life interesting; it makes life empty. Sin doesn't create adventure; it blunts it. Sin doesn't expand life; it shrinks it. Sin's emptiness inevitably leads to boredom. When there's fulfillment, when there's beauty, when we see God as he truly is-an endless reservoir of fascination-boredom becomes impossible.” BelieveRealityLyingSinInterestingImpossibleAdventureDevilEmptyStrategyEndlessFulfillmentFallenBoredomEmptinessAdamEmployedShrinksFascinationAdam And EveReservoirs Book:Heaven Source: Heaven
“And as Craig Brown - he's an English humorist, not a comedian but he's just a writer and humorist - I'm quite a fan of. I heard him talking in a rather similar way on the radio. He said I'm the sort of person - I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was rather interesting - he said I'm the sort of person that can be reduced to tears in an empty church and feel like I'm the CEO of the Devil's organization in a full one, and I tend to feel like that as well. I love empty churches and going into them looking around, but I'm not a churchgoer at all.” WayFeelsWellsPersonsSaidI CanRememberChurchInterestingTalkingHeardFansTearsDevilEmptyOrganizationRadioComedianBrownCeoHumorists Author:Nick Lowe
“The only thing that dictates whether I respond to someone is whether I have something interesting to say in return.

“I think in some ways people kind of hate it, but most models recognize that it's a pretty easy job to make a lot of money at in a relatively short time, and you get to travel the world and meet a lot of interesting people. There are extreme highs and extreme lows. I think if it were as clear-cut as "models hate it," then they wouldn't do it. I really enjoyed a lot of the actual aspects of it, but not enough to make it my primary job. It can be quite empty, which is why I pursued other things.” PeopleThinkingWorldKindEnoughHateEasyInterestingEmptyTravel The World Author:Lily Cole
“I've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do.

“He who sups with the devil had better have a long spoon. The devilry of modernity has its own magic: The [believer] who sups with it will find his spoon getting shorter and shorter--until that last supper in which he is left alone at the table, with no spoon at all and with an empty plate. The devil, one may guess, will by then have gone away to more interesting company.” MayLongLastsLeftInterestingCompanyGoneMagicDevilEmptyTablesBelieverPlatesModernitySpoonsLeft AloneSupperGone AwayLast Supper Author:Peter L.
