Quote by John Donne

Yet nothing can to nothing fall,Nor any place be empty quite;Therefore I think my breast hath allThose pieces still, though they be not unite;And now, as broken glasses showA hundred lesser faces, soMy rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,But after one such love, can love no more.

Yet nothing can to nothing fall,Nor any place be empty quite

Summary

This quote suggests that nothing can truly become nothing, and no place can ever be entirely empty. The speaker believes that although their heart may be fragmented and not unified, it still contains all the pieces. They compare their broken heart to shattered glass, which reflects numerous smaller reflections. Similarly, their heart can still experience emotions such as likeness, longing, and adoration, but after experiencing a profound love, they feel they are incapable of loving to the same extent again.

Madeleine Albright has said that there is 'a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.' What are the implications of this statement? Would it be an argument in favor of the candidacy of Mrs. Clinton? Would this mean that Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama don't deserve the help of fellow females? If the Republicans nominated a woman would Ms. Albright instantly switch parties out of sheer sisterhood? Of course not. (And this wearisome tripe from someone who was once our secretary of state ...)

I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I've achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I'd feel confident that I'd still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
