Knowing Quotes (page 499)

But you haven't never loved God nor even nair person. You hard and tough as cowhide. But just the same I knows you. This afternoon you going to roam all over the place without never being satisfied. You going to traipse all around like you haves to find something lost. You going to work yourself up with excitement. Your heart going to beat hard enough to kill you because you don't love and don't have peace. And then some day you going to bust loose and be ruined. Carson McCullers
The interesting thing about grief, I think, is that it is its own size. It is not the size of you. It is its own size. And grief comes to you. You know what I mean? I’ve always liked that phrase “He was visited by grief,” because that’s really what it is. Grief is its own thing. It’s not like it’s in me and I’m going to deal with it. It’s a thing, and you have to be okay with its presence. If you try to ignore it, it will be like a wolf at your door. Stephen Colbert
Mae West quote: "I have found men who didn't know how to kiss. I've always..."
I have found men who didn't know how to kiss. I've always found time to teach them. Mae West
Insanity is the ability to communicate your ideas. It’s as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that’s going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don’t understand the language they speak there. Paulo Coelho
Jodi Picoult quote: "You want to know what I want? I'm sick of being a guinea pig...."
You want to know what I want? I'm sick of being a guinea pig. I'm sick, but I'm never f*cking sick enough for this family. Jodi Picoult
Mitch Albom quote: "Stranger,' the Blue Man said, 'are just family you have yet to..."
Stranger,' the Blue Man said, 'are just family you have yet to come to know. Mitch Albom
Susan Sontag quote: "I like to feel dumb. That’s how I know there’s more in the..."
I like to feel dumb. That’s how I know there’s more in the world than me. Susan Sontag
and vinegar that makes them sour—and camomile that makes them bitter—and—and barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn’t be so stingy about it, you know— Lewis Carroll
Nature, keeping only useless secrets, had placed within reach and in sight of human beings the things it was necessary for them to know. Michel Foucault
You dance love, and you dance joy, and you dance dreams. And I know if I can make you smile by jumping over a couple of couches or running through a rainstorm, then I'll be very glad to be a song and dance man. Gene Kelly
Time, too, is a function of Shadow, and even Dworkin did not know all of its ins and outs. Or perhaps he did. Maybe that is what drove him mad. Roger Zelazny
Everything I know, everything I put in my fiction, will hurt someone somewhere as surely as it will comfort and enlighten someone else. What then is my responsibility? What am I to restrain? What am I to fear and alter--my own nakedness or the grief of the reader? I want my stories to be so good they are unforgettable; to make my ideas live and my own terrors real for people I will never meet. It is a completely amoral writer's lust. If we begin to agree that some ideas are too dangerous, too... Dorothy Allison
Elbert Hubbard quote: "The line between failure and success is so fine. . . that we..."
The line between failure and success is so fine. . . that we are often on the line and do not know it. Elbert Hubbard
words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder. Jodi Picoult
I know girls who pine for it. They like to play dress-up and pretend being Vor ladies of old, rescued from menace by romantic Vor youths. For some reason they never play 'dying in childbirth', or 'vomiting your guts out from the red dysentery', or 'weaving till you go blind and crippled from arthritis and dye poisoning', or 'infanticide'. Well, they do die romantically of disease sometimes, but somehow it's always an illness that makes you interestingly pale and everyone sorry and doesn't... Lois McMaster Bujold
