Knowing Quotes (page 110)

I know the outer world as well as you do, and I judge it. You know nothing of my inner world, and yet you presume to judge that world. Aldous Huxley
What does reason know? It knows only what it has managed to learn (and it may never learn anything else; that isn't very reassuring, but why not admit it?), while human nature acts as a complete entity, with all that is in it, consciously or unconsciously; and though it may be wrong, it's nevertheless alive. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgment upon anything new. Galileo Galilei
She knows the rituals, she knows how we're supposed to be behaving...But I think these things are impenetrable and fraudulent, and I can't do them without feeling I'm acting. Margaret Atwood
After dinner, I become afraid despite myself. I know I should be joyous, for this reunion is the proof that love can still be ours, but I know the bell has tolled this evening. The sun has long since set and the thief is about to come, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. So I stare at her and wait and live a lifetime in these last remaining moments. Nicholas Sparks
Verses are not, as people think, feelings (those one has early enough) -- they are experiences. For the sake of a verse one must see many cities, men, and things, one must know the animals feel how birds fly, and know the gesture with which the little flowers open in the morning. Rainer Maria Rilke
Anyone who has gumption knows what it is, and anyone who hasn’t can never know what it is. So there is no need of defining it. L. M. Montgomery
Bill Ayers quote: "You know more about your child than I can ever hope to know,..."
You know more about your child than I can ever hope to know, what advice can you give me to make a better teacher for her? Bill Ayers
Jeanette Winterson quote: "I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in..."
I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted. Jeanette Winterson
Dear Leonard. To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard. Always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love. Always the hours. Michael Cunningham
Up till then he had been looking at the Lion's great front feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face. What he saw surprised him as much as anything in his whole life. For the tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. They were such big, bright tears compared with Digory's own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself. "My son, my... C. S. Lewis
John C. Maxwell quote: "You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you..."
You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them. John C. Maxwell
Mark Twain quote: "It's not what you don't know that kills you, it's what you..."
It's not what you don't know that kills you, it's what you know for sure that ain't true. Mark Twain
I am a total zombie just after I wake up. It takes me half an hour even to get my eyes open. Ask anyone who knows me. I can't see; I can't talk properly; I can't do anything without help. The only think I can do properly is think. And I know how to exploit my condition. I've had years of practice. Diana Wynne Jones
When you're touched by magic, nothing's ever quite the same again. What really makes me sad is all those people who never have the chance to know that touch. They're too busy, or they just don't hold with make-believe, so they shut the door without really knowing it was there to be opened in the first place. Charles de Lint
