Margaret Atwood quote: "She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows..."
She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows by now that events have no mercy. Margaret Atwood
I know how people are, with their habits of mind. Most will sail through from cradle to grave with a conscience clean as snow...I know people. Most have no earthly notion of the price of a snow-white conscience. Barbara Kingsolver
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always... J. M. Barrie
You know, Maude . . . somebody meeting you for the first time -- not knowing you were cracked -- might get the wrong impression of you. Preston Sturges
Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw. Men made dogs, they took wolves and gave them human things--unnecessary intelligence, names, a desire to belong, and a twitching inferiority complex. All dogs dream wolf dreams, and know they're dreaming of biting their Maker. Every dog knows, deep in his heart, that he is a Bad Dog... Terry Prachett
Anne Frank quote: "I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that..."
I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me! Anne Frank
If just once you were depressed for no reason, you have been so all your life without knowing it. Becoming: an agony without an ending. The older I grow, the less I enjoy performing my little Hamlet. The desire to die was my one and only concern; to it I have sacrificed everything, even death. If History had a goal, how lamentable would be the fate of those of us who have accomplished nothing! On the frontiers of the self: ‘What I have suffered, what I am suffering, no one will ever know, not... Emile M. Cioran
He felt a spasm of excitement because he knew instinctively who it was, or at least knew who it was he wanted it to be, and once you know what it is you want to be true, instinct is a very useful device for enabling you to know that it is. Douglas Adams
Thomas S. Monson quote: "We need learn what we need to learn, know what we need to..."
We need learn what we need to learn, know what we need to know, and do what we need to do. Thomas S. Monson
At least there's nothing scary about him and hopefully he doesn't see anything scary in me. We go way back, to summer camp. We KNOW each other. People I don't know just make me want to say YIKES! I'll take history over mystery any day of the week. Doug Coupland
His own life suddenly seemed repellently formal. Whom did he know or what did he know and whom did he love? Sitting on the stump under the burden of his father's death and even the mortality inherent in the dying, wildly colored canopy of leaves, he somehow understood that life was only what one did every day.... Nothing was like anything else, including himself, and everything was changing all of the time. He knew he couldn't perceive the change because he was changing too, along with... Jim Harrison
They know a million tricks, those novelists. Take Doctor Goebbels; that's how he started out, writing fiction. Appeals to the base lusts that hide in everyone no matter how respectable on the surface. Yes, the novelist knows humanity, how worthless they are, ruled by their testicles, swayed by cowardice, selling out every cause because of their greed - all he's got to do is thump on the drum, and there's his response. And he's laughing, of course, behind his hand at the effect he gets. Philip K. Dick
Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone. Anne Frank
Martha Gellhorn quote: "I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man..."
I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother. Martha Gellhorn
George R. R. Martin quote: "Jaime smiled knowingly. Men will read all sorts of things into..."
Jaime smiled knowingly. Men will read all sorts of things into a knowing smile if you let them. George R. R. Martin
