So all in all there wasn't anything really wrong with my life. except that, like most everyone else's i knew about, it had a big gaping hole in it, an enormous emptiness, and i didn't know how to fill it or even know what belonged there.

More From Jack Finney

Well, congress gave us a billion dollars to dig the hole, this gigantic hole. bigger, much bigger than the hole in geneva, switzerland. then they canceled the machine and gave us a second billion dollars to fill up the hole. two billion dollars to dig a hole and fill it up. that is the wisdom of the united states congress and it really makes you wonder: is there intelligent life on the earth? certainly not in the united states congress.

At last the cold crept up my spine; at last it filled me from foot to head; at last i grew so chill and desolate that all thought and pain and awareness came to a standstill. i wasn't miserable anymore: i wasn't anything at all. i was a nothing-- a random configuration of molecules. if my heart still beat i didn't know it. i was aware of one thing only; next to the gaping fact called death, all i knew was nothing, all i did meant nothing, all i felt conveyed nothing. this was no passing thought. it was a gnawing, palpable emptiness more real than the cold.

I didn't pay much attention to the whistles and whoops, in fact, i didn't quite hear them. i was full of a strange feeling, as if i were two people. one of them was norma jeane from the orphanage who belonged to nobody; the other was someone whose name i didn't know. but i knew where she belonged; she belonged to the ocean and the sky and the whole world.

'emptiness' means empty of a separate self. it is full of everything, full of life. the word emptiness should not scare us. it is a wonderful word. to be empty does not mean non-existent. emptiness is the ground of everything. thanks to emptiness, everything is possible.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!
