Knowing Quotes (page 507)

Gordie: Alright, alright, Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy? Vern: If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it. Teddy: Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog. Gordie: I knew the $64,000 question was fixed. There's no way anybody could know that much about opera! Chris: He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat. Gordie: Wagon Train's a really cool show, but did you notice they never get... Stephen King
Earth never grieves, I thought, walking across the park, watching seagulls cruising greedily above the ground looking for heaven knows what. Don't you think it's a good line? A very good line Philip Larkin
Being tired of all illusions and of everything about illusions? the loss of illusions, the uselessness of having them, the prefatigue of having to have them in order to lose them, the sadness of having had them, the intellectual shame of having had them knowing that they would have to end this way. Fernando Pessoa
You can make some inferences about a man's character if you know something about the conditions in which he has survived and prospered. Richard Dawkins
It is curious that people tend to regard government as a quasi-divine, selfless, Santa Claus organization. Government was constructed neither for ability nor for the exercise of loving care; government was built for the use of force and for necessarily demagogic appeals for votes. If individuals do not know their own interests in many cases, they are free to turn to private experts for guidance. It is absurd to say that they will be served better by a coercive, demagogic apparatus. Murray Rothbard
Charlotte Bronte quote: "You know nothing about me, and nothing about the sort of love..."
You know nothing about me, and nothing about the sort of love which I am capable. Charlotte Bronte
Clive Barker quote: "Leavening the flat bread of what we know, with the yeast of..."
Leavening the flat bread of what we know, with the yeast of what we dream may come to pass. Clive Barker
It is conceivable that not knowing the meaning of life is part of the meaning of life, rather as not counting how many words I am uttering when I give an after-dinner speech helps me to give an after-dinner speech. Perhaps life is kept going by our ignorance of its fundamental meaning, as capitalism for Karl Marx Terry Eagleton
Stephen Hawking quote: "Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born"
Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born Stephen Hawking
George R. R. Martin quote: "I have climbed these steps so often I know each one by name."
I have climbed these steps so often I know each one by name. George R. R. Martin
My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Maeve Binchy quote: "If you had your time all over again....? She was keen to know...."
If you had your time all over again....? She was keen to know. You can't rewrite history. I have no idea what I'd do. Maeve Binchy
Jodi Picoult quote: "Just so you know: if this ever happens to you, you will not be..."
Just so you know: if this ever happens to you, you will not be ready. Jodi Picoult
In the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the fles? whatever pleasures we know are doomed to peris? thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life. They hold within them a secret poetry, stained with blood and rust. Guillermo del Toro
What I really need is to get clear about what I must do, not what I must know, except insofar as knowledge must precede every act. What matters is to find a purpose, to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do; the crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die. Soren Kierkegaard
