When Ray Bradbury said, "How do you get so empty? Who takes it out of you?" And when Kafka said, "Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don’t find yourself." And when Florence said, "I thought that love was a kind of emptiness and at least I understood then, the hunger I felt; and I didn't have to call it loneliness."
