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.

When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.

Quotes by Robert Duvall

Quotes by Robert Duvall

Quotes by Robert Creeley

Quotes by Robert Baden-Powell

Why is it trivia? People call it trivia because they know nothing and they are embarrassed about it.

Quotes by Robbie Coltrane

Quotes by Robbie Fowler

I fought for, like, five years in Hawaii - nothing better than that. It was awesome. Every fight, I went on vacation, and I wasn't cutting any weight, so I could just eat whatever I wanted. I enjoyed it.

Quotes by Robbie Lawler

You don't appreciate what you have when it all comes to you real quick. I went from nothing to everything all at once.

Quotes by Robbie Lawler

Quotes by Robby Gordon
