« 3 Thoughts About 1 and the Same Nothing »

To be conscious is essentially to have sensations: that is, to have affect-laden mental representations of something happening here and now to me. [...] There are no nonsensory, amodal consciousness states.

(Nicholas Humphrey, A History of the Mind)

It was not absolute nothingness. It was a kidn of formlessness without any definition... True reasoning convinced me that i should wholly subtract all remnants of every kind of form if I wished to conceive [of] the absolutely formless I could not achieve this.

(Saint Augustine, Confessions)

Nothing can be created from nothing.

(Lucretius, de Rurum Natura)
