“A vacant mind invites dangerous inmates, as a deserted mansion tempts wandering outcasts to enter and take up their abode in its desolate apartments.”

“I dwell with a strangely aching heart
In that vanished abode there far apart”

“I don't mind if it's dangerous
I don't mind if it's raining
Take me up to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders.”

“Absence of occupation is not rest,
A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.”

“He wanders, like a day-appearing dream,
Through the dim wildernesses of the mind; Through desert woods and tracts, which seem Like ocean, homeless, boundless, unconfined.”

“Power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind.”

“Only cops and vampires have to have an invitation to enter.”

“I’m still blown away by how desolate Iceland can be, how deserted it is, it’s very often like living on the moon.”

“The watchdog's voice that bayed the whispering wind,
And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.”

“As the past has ceased to throw its light upon the future, the mind of man wanders in obscurity.”
