Examples of vanish in a Sentence

1. Debasish Mridha, M.D.:

   The ultimate purpose of our life is to be happy. We are born for happiness, we are going toward happiness, we like to live in happiness, and we like to vanish from this universe for eternal happiness.

2. Vaclav Havel:

   I am not sure one is capable of reflecting absurdity without having a strong sense of meaning. Absurdity makes sense only against a meaningful background. It is the deeper meaning that is shedding light on the absurdity. There must be a vanish point, a metaphysical horizon if you will where absurdity and meaning merge.”

3. Erik Pevernagie:

   A doorway is an ambiguous phenomenon, a liminal spot in a person’s life. A door can be a choice, a possibility, a protection or an aperture to new-fangled values. It can mean a barrier, a prison or a gate to freedom. It can, however, vanish in the mist of unawareness by lack of social concern. At that moment, our freedom has become our jail and we feel locked up in our own liberty. Any exit has waned: the doorway has been absorbed in the stupor of our infatuation. ( “In the doorway” )

4. Henry David Thoreau:

   We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.

5. Dan Bova:

   I don't think they'll vanish. These brands will surely live on and thrive in digital, i'm not an expert, but I'd bet that if you looked at the top 10 search terms for the past decade, the word ‘boobs’ would probably be one of them.
