• Los seres humanos se han vuelto tan temerosos de lo desconocido, de sí mismos y de los demás, que se privan de ese éxtasis innato y de ese amor a la vida que conlleva un cuerpo, una mente y un espíritu humanos, escondiéndose tras la cáscara vacía de su ego.

• Christianity can be described as a theological materialism: It is that which transforms our material existence.  If our faith does not throw us into the arms of the world, if it does not lead to our experience of responsibility, love, celebration, and our commitment to transformation, then, whatever we call it, we have nothing but an empty shell.

  Peter Rollins

• Writing is a long and lonesome business; back of the problems in thought and composition hover always the awful questions: Is this the page that shows the empty shell? Is it here and now that they find me out?

• Indeed Christianity passes. Passes - it has gone! It has littered the beaches of life with churches, cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, prejudices and intolerances, like the sea urchin and starfish and empty shells and lumps of stinging jelly upon the sands here after a tide. A tidal wave out of Egypt. And it has left a multitude of little wriggling theologians and confessors and apologists hopping and burrowing in the warm nutritious sand. But in the hearts of living men, what remains of it now? Doubtful scraps of Arianism. Phrases. Sentiments. Habits.

  H. G. Wells

• The termination is not based on innocence or guilt, but on biology. The sociopath personality is fraudulent. They are impostors within the human species. Killing a sociopath is equivalent to killing God. Neither exists in reality. They are empty shells of imagination, said Chiron

• Es un error muy triste pensar que los bibliotecarios se limitan a registrar la entrada y salida de libros. La biblioteca es el corazón de una escuela y, sin un bibliotecario, no es más que un cascarón vacío.

• I was an empty shell. Like a vacant house―condemned―for months I'd been utterly uninhabitable. Now I was a little improved. The front room was in better repair. But that was all―just the one small piece. He deserved better than that―better than a one-room, falling-down fixer-upper. No amount of investment on his part could put me back in working order.

• It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realise that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality. The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth.

• I can't deceive myself out of the bare stark realization that no matter how enthusiastic you are, no matter how sure that character is fate, nothing is real, past or future, when you are alone in your room with the clock ticking loudly into the false cheerful brilliance of the electric light. And if you have no past or future which, after all, is all that the present is made of, why then you may as well dispose of the empty shell of present and commit suicide.

• Sólo en la verdad resplandece la caridad, sólo en la verdad puede vivirse auténticamente la caridad. La verdad es la luz que da sentido y valor a la caridad. Esa luz es a la vez la luz de la razón y la luz de la fe, a través de la cual la inteligencia alcanza la verdad natural y sobrenatural de la caridad: capta su sentido como don, acogida y comunión. Sin la verdad, la caridad degenera en sentimentalismo. El amor se convierte en una cáscara vacía, que se llena arbitrariamente.
