Testimonials to Nothing





From Gerry:

I feel you are getting mixed up about nothing!! Nothing is "no thing" (Full Stop) A space ship could not go into nothing--it is going into space which is clearly something. If there is nothing, then you cannot sense it, touch it. see it, or be aware of it in anyway. You most certainly couldn't go into it--there is nothing to go into--- Unless of course you are seeking to alter the meaning of the word. Hope this helps to increase both yours and Professor Pace's understanding  which is clearly lacking. I have really NOTHING else to say. $;-)


From ++RC++

I have contemplated nothing and have seen nothing is nothing. The truth may be that it is the true answer. There's nothing like it. Or, is it like nothing?

From Coyote:

It's wonderful to contemplate.  Think nothing of it, but nothing is sacred.  Nothing gets to me like people doing nothing when something needs to be done.   Oh - and though I'm not a betting critter - I'd bet you'll never say, "I have nothing more to say."
