Doubted Quotes (page 33)

J. M. Barrie quote: "The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever..."
The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it. J. M. Barrie
I think that when in doubt about the truth of an issue, it's safer and in better taste to select the least numerous of the adversaries. Ayn Rand
Adam Savage quote: "When in doubt, C-4."
When in doubt, C-4. Adam Savage
If we are to believe he is really alive with all that that implies, then we have to believe without proof. And of course that is the only way it could be. If it could be somehow proved, then we would have no choice but to believe. We would lose our freedom not to believe. And in the very moment that we lost that freedom, we would cease to be human beings. Our love of God would have been forced upon us, and love that is forced is of course not love at all. Love must be freely given. Love must... Frederick Buechner
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. "Can they be brought together?" This is a practical question. We must get down to it. "I despise intelligence" really means: "I cannot bear my doubts. Albert Camus
Ellis Peters quote: "Oh, sometimes I like to put the sand of doubt into the oyster..."
Oh, sometimes I like to put the sand of doubt into the oyster of my faith." (Br. Cadfael) Ellis Peters
I'm here to tell you, there ain't much forgiveness in that old-time religion. That particular savior was a mean son of a bitch. If you sinned, honey, he was going to get you, no doubt about it. Ava Gardner
Robert Hughes quote: "The greater the artist, the greater the doubt."
The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Robert Hughes
It is a pity he did not write in pencil. As you have no doubt frequently observed, the impression usually goes through -- a fact which has dissolved many a happy marriage. Arthur Conan Doyle
No Victorian novel approaches Middlemarch in its width of reference, its intellectual power, or the imperturbable spaciousness of its narrative... I doubt if any Victorian novelist has as much to teach the modern novelists as George Eliot. V. S. Pritchett
Only after living through all eternity and assuring myself that you were mine every instant, only then would I return to you and live with you through all eternity, and no doubt not have patience enough to be separated from you for an instant without longing, but assurance enough to sit calmly at your side. Soren Kierkegaard
No doubt Richard's father, like my mother, had once held his infant son in his arms, looked into the eyes of his child's mother, and believed they would move into the future together with love. The fact that they didn't was a weight each of us carried, as every child does, probably, whose parents no longer live under the same roof. Wherever it is you make your home, there is always this other place, this other person, calling to you. Come to me. Come back. Joyce Maynard
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "One never quite stops believing, some doubt remains forever"."
One never quite stops believing, some doubt remains forever". Gabriel Garcia Marquez
F. Franklin the Fourth has a job with a firm rich in heritage, money and pretentiousness, a firm vastly superior to Brodnax and Speer. His sidekicks at the moment are W. Harper Whittenson, an arrogant little snot who will, thankfully, leave Memphis and practice with a mega-firm in Dallas; J. Townsend Gross, who has accepted a position with another huge firm; and James Straybeck, a sometimes friendly sort who's suffered three years of law school without an initial to place before his name or ... John Grisham
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything. Virginia Woolf
