Emptiness Quote by Bill Hopkins
““We are suffering, all of us, because of the emptiness that surrounds us, that infiltrates between us, that penetrates through us. We are penned in by our limitations, afraid to break out and face that emptiness alone. But unless we do, we shall go on making our mistakes, repeating our blunders and manufacturing the same senseless tragedies.””
