Nothing Quotes

Sometimes nothing says the most.

"Nothing" carries surprisingly different tones across this set — frustration with limited consumer protections sits next to warm nostalgia for a cheap, music-filled stretch of life in Paris. For quotes on affection and belonging, see Love quotes.

Quotes by Douglas Preston

I am a human being. I started out with virtually nothing. I worked my way up like so many businesspeople have and made ourselves great in this country. And that is what we have to make sure we preserve for...

Quotes by Douglas R. Oberhelman

If I can say one thing for my pictures, it is a certain craftsmanship. A thought which has gone into every angle. There is nothing there without an optical reason.

Quotes by Douglas Coupland
