| | Nothing, by P. L. Heath |
 | | Nothing, they say, is not a thing, nor is it the name of anything, being merely a short way of saying of anything that it is not something else. |
 | | The friends of nothing may be divided into two distinct though not exclusive classes: the know-nothings, who claim a phenomenological acquaintance with nothing in particular, and the fear-nothings, who, believing, with Macbeth, that "nothing is but what is not," are thereby launched into dialectical encounter with nullity in general. |
 | | Nothing, whether it noths or not, and whether or not the being of anything entails it, clearly does not entail that anything should be. |
