Never argue with a pedant over nomenclature. It wastes your time and annoys the pedant.

Lois McMaster Bujold

Full of men, vacant of friends.

Seneca the Younger

We are using all of our brain, all of the time; all of it is in use. However, you could probably argue that we don't use it effectively. Some of us are not trained to use our brains to their full potential. But definitely, all of it is there.

Jason Silva

The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.

Walt Whitman

There is no flock, however watched and tended, but one dead lamb is there! There is no fireside howsoe'er defended, but has one vacant chair.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

If a philosopher is not a man, he is anything but a philosopher; he is above all a pedant, and a pedant is a caricature of a man.

Miguel de Unamuno

In the hours without sleep, each moment is so full and so vacant that it suggests itself as a rival of Time.

Emile M. Cioran

O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark, The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant

T. S. Eliot

With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

Dr. Seuss

A man's heart may have a secret sanctuary where only one woman may enter, but it is full of little anterooms which are seldom vacant.

Helen Rowland

The captains of industry are not hunting money. America is heavy with it. They are seeking brains - specialized brains - and faithful, loyal service. Brains are needed to carry out the plans of those who furnish the capital.

Charles M. Schwab

Nakata's empty inside... Do you know what it means to be completely empty? Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want. That's what scares me the most

Haruki Murakami

That however the brains and abilities of men may differ, their stomachs are essentially the same.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

When I came to Detroit, if you threw a stone up in the air it would hit an autoworker on its way down. A few years after that, if you threw a stone in the air it'd hit an abandoned house or a vacant lot on its way down. And most people saw those vacant lots as blight. But meanwhile during World War II, blacks had moved from the South to the North. And they saw these vacant lots as places where you could grow food for the community. And so urban agriculture was born.

Grace Lee Boggs

I remember New York in the '80s as a place with vacant lots that would eventually give over to nature. Weeds would grow up, squirrels would move in. That entropy is gone now. It's too expensive to let a vacant lot go natural.

Moby

Pedants make a great rout about criticism, as if it were a science of great depth, and required much pains and knowledge--criticism however is only the result of good sense, taste and judgment--three qualities that indeed seldom are found together, and extremely seldom in a pedant, which most critics are.

Horace Walpole
