Knowing Quotes (page 473)

The wind blew, from what quarter I know not, but it lifted the half-grown leaves so that there was a flash of silver-grey in the air. It was the time between the lights when colors undergo their intensification and purples and golds burn in windowpanes like the beat of an excitable heart; when for some reason the beauty of the world revealed and yet soon to perish ... has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. Virginia Woolf
M. Night Shyamalan quote: "Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others..."
Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others will not know that we wish to do them. M. Night Shyamalan
I didn't know with certainty what to say about the large world, and didn't care to risk speculating. And I still don't. That we all look at it from someplace, and in some hopeful-useful way, is about all I found I could say--my best, most honest effort. And that isn't enough for literature, though it didn't bother me much. Nowadays, I'm willing to say yes to as much as I can: yes to my town, my neighborhood, my neighbor, yes to his car, her lawn and hedge and rain gutters. Let things be the... Richard Ford
I don't know. I only think the Austrians will not stop when they have won a victory. It is in defeat that we become Christian."The Austrians are Christians-- except for the Bosnians."I don't mean technically Christian. I mean like Our Lord."He said nothing."We are all gentler now because we are beaten. How would our Lord have been f Peter had rescued him in the Garden? Ernest Hemingway
I was thinking, as I watched her, how little it mattered –about her teeth for instance. I know so many women who have kept all the things she had lost, *but whose inner glow has faded*. Whatever else was gone, Antonia had not lost the fire of life. Willa Cather
Meg Cabot quote: "Life's not easy for unicorns, you know. We're a dying breed."
Life's not easy for unicorns, you know. We're a dying breed. Meg Cabot
I now know that God has a plan for each of us. The thing is to find out what it is? How? Through prayer, through keeping your mind open, and trough the circumstances of daily life and the people you meet. Peggy Noonan
Most problems of teaching are not problems of growth but helping cultivate growth. As far as I know, and this is only from personal experience in teaching, I think about ninety percent of the problem in teaching, or maybe ninety-eight percent, is just to help the students get interested. Or what it usually amounts to is to not prevent them from being interested. Typically they come in interested, and the process of education is a way of driving that defect out of their minds. But if... Noam Chomsky
Under the plan of heaven, the husband and the wife walk side by side as companions, neither one ahead of the other, but a daughter of God and a son of God walking side by side. Let your families be families of love and peace and happiness. Gather your children around you and have your family home evenings, teach your children the ways of the Lord, read to them from the scriptures, and let them come to know the great truths of the eternal gospel as set forth in these words of the Almighty. Gordon B. Hinckley
If you know what you're looking for, that's all you'll get - what's previously known. But when you're open to what's possible, you get something new - that's creativity. Alan Alda
And it is through strife and the readiness for strife that a man or a nation must win greatness. So, let the world know that we are here and willing to pour out our blood, our treasure, our tears. And that America is ready and if need be desirous of battle Theodore Roosevelt
Clint Eastwood quote: "I know what you're thinking 'Did he fire six shots or only five?"

And this you can know- fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe. John Steinbeck
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet; everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful. Robert A. Heinlein
Names are still magic; even Sharon, Karen, Darren, and Warren are magic to somebody somewhere. In fairy stories, naming is knowledge. When I know your name, I can call your name, and when I call your name, you'll come to me. Jeanette Winterson
