Knowing Quotes (page 581)

I don't know. I suppose I should have had a better idea of what I was letting myself in for. Still, the first murder? the farmer? seemed to have been so simple, a dropped stone falling to the lakebed with scarcely a ripple. The second one was also easy, at least at first, but I had no inkling how different it would be. What we took for a docile, ordinary weight (gentle plunk, swift rush to the bottom, dark waters closing over it without a trace) was in fact a depth charge, one that exploded... Donna Tartt
She told me once there is a part of her in everyone, though Neil believes I'm more Delirium than Tori, and Death taught me to accept that, you know, wear your butterflies with pride. Tori Amos
I ached for the difference between Carlisle and me - that he could touch her so gently, without fear, knowing he would never harm her. Stephenie Meyer
When we want something, we have to have a clear purpose in mind for the thing that we want. The only reason for seeking a reward is to know what to do with that reward Paulo Coelho
Victor Hugo quote: "It is a shame that I am ignorant, otherwise I would quote to..."
It is a shame that I am ignorant, otherwise I would quote to you a mass of things; but I know nothing. Victor Hugo
Oscar Wilde quote: "There are only two ways, as you know, of becoming civilized...."
There are only two ways, as you know, of becoming civilized. One is by being cultured, the other is by being corrupt. Oscar Wilde
Well, then I'll die.' Sooner than other people, obviously. But everybody knows that life isn't worth living. And when it came down to it, I wasn't unaware of the fact that it doesn't matter very much whether you die at thirty or at seventy since, in either case, other men and women will naturally go on living, for thousands of years even. Nothing was plainer, in fact. It was still only me who was dying, whether it was now or in twenty years' time. Albert Camus
Maya Angelou quote: "If you're always trying to be Normal you will never know how..."
If you're always trying to be Normal you will never know how amazing you can be. Maya Angelou
Ye cannot find out the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh; then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know His mind, or comprehend His purpose? W. Somerset Maugham
I get all the arguments against it. I even get the one that says... "I don't know if I want to bring another kid into this world." But how do you argue with the logic of loving one that's already here? John Cusack
Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer. Gaston Bachelard
He could not even take comfort in knowing that he had spent most of his adult life in dread of calamities had not materialized, because, by the law of averages, one of them was bound to come true one day. J. K. Rowling
In America they have to know just what you are-- novelist, poet, playwright... Well, I've been all of them... I think poems and novels and stories spring from the same seed. It's not like, say, playing polo and knitting. Robert Penn Warren
Abraham Lincoln quote: "I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and mean to..."
I do the very best I know how-the very best I can; and mean to keep doing so until the end. Abraham Lincoln
Right now I am like the unborn baby in the womb, knowing nothing except the comforting warmth of the amniotic fluid in which I swim, the comforting nourishment entering my body from a source I cannot see or understand. My whole being comes from an unseen, unknown nurturer. By that nurturer I am totally loved and protected, and that love is forever. It does not end when I am precipitated out of the safe waters of the womb into the unsafe world. It will. It end when I breathe my last, mortal... Madeleine L'Engle
