Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows and of lending existence to nothing.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet but soon will and will change everything for everybody and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible never the impossible.

There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover through the detours of art those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

The artist is nothing without the gift but the gift is nothing without work.

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.

Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.

If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.

People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course that's both liberating and alarming.

I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.

Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

If you give people nothingness they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

Obama and his attack dogs have nothing but hate and anger in their hearts and spew it whenever possible.

Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.

Love implies anger. The man who is angered by nothing cares about nothing.

There's nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.

Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.

There is nothing that so much gratifies an ill tongue as when it finds an angry heart.

It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable barrier. You can have gas on one side and vacuum or liquid on the other and with a wall only one atom thick nothing would go through it.
