    I think they have them mixed up, the abyss is for screaming into while the void is typically used for staring

      There’s this famous quote from Nietzsche:

      When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.

      Has nothing to do with voids, though

          Yeah, and as I’ve posted below Javert stares into the void in Les Mis. The only combination that isn’t really poetic is screaming into the abyss; everything else exists, ergo it’s not a mixup.
