Knowing Quotes (page 645)

She continued it to Hugh, 'Darling, do you know what mother and you are going to find beyond the blue horizon rim?' 'What?' flatly. 'We're going to find elephants with golden howdahs from which peep young maharanees with necklaces of rubies, and a dawn sea colored like the breast of a dove, and a white an green house filled with books and silver tea-sets.' 'And cookies?' 'Cookies? Oh, most decidedly cookies. We've had enough of bread and porridge. We'd get sick on too many cookies, but ever... Sinclair Lewis
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Slow is the experience of all deep fountains: long have they..."
Slow is the experience of all deep fountains: long have they to wait until they know what has fallen into their depths. Friedrich Nietzsche
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world; yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky. There have been as many plagues as wars in history; yet always plagues and wars take people equally by surprise. Albert Camus
Pender laughed. "Verify? In this day and age? Who cares about verifying anything? It's all about the speed. Who gets there first defines the truth. You know that as well as any man living. David Baldacci
...Nobody know when he is going to die. It is no good simply putting it off all the time, as we tend to do. If you face it, you realize you hold your life in your hands, and you're ready to let go at any moment. I think that is real wisdom. Bede Griffiths
Anne Rice quote: "I like you both! And that's better than loving you, for that's..."
I like you both! And that's better than loving you, for that's expected, you know. But liking you, what a curious surprise. Anne Rice
How far the gentlemen of dark complexion will get with their independence, now that they have declared it, I don’t know. There are serious difficulties in their way. The vast majority of people of their race are but two or three inches removed from gorillas: it will be a sheer impossibility, for a long, long while, to interest them in anything above pork-chops and bootleg gin. H. L. Mencken
Albert Camus quote: "Everything I know of morality, I learned on the soccer field."
Everything I know of morality, I learned on the soccer field. Albert Camus
When I walk out, I am a great event. I do not have to think, or even rehearse. What happens in me will happen without attention. The pheasant stands on the hill; He is arranging his brown feathers. I cannot help smiling at what it is I know. Leaves and petals attend me. I am ready. Sylvia Plath
Well, Montag, take my word for it, I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They're about non-existent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're non-fiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost. Ray Bradbury
Raoul Vaneigem quote: "The tyrant dies smiling; for he knows that after his death..."
The tyrant dies smiling; for he knows that after his death tyranny will merely change hands, and slavery will never end. Raoul Vaneigem
You wait a bit, wait a bit," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, smiling and touching his hand. "I've told you what I know, and I repeat that in this delicate and tender matter, as far as one can conjecture, I believe the chances are in your favor. Leo Tolstoy
Tom Waits quote: "Don't you know there ain't no devil; there's just God when..."
Don't you know there ain't no devil; there's just God when he's drunk. Tom Waits
you know that I love/ to live with you/ but you make me forget so very much/ we forget to pray for the angels/ and then the angels forget to pray for us/ Leonard Cohen
You have a... remarkable memory,” I say haltingly. “I remember everything about you,” says Peeta, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re the one who wasn’t paying attention.” “I am now,” I say. “Well, I don’t have much competition here,” he says. I want to draw away, to close those shutters again, but I know I can’t. [...]“You don’t have much competition anywhere. Suzanne Collins
