Knowing Quotes (page 775)

The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower; And swing I know not where. Their tongues engrave. Membrane through marrow, my long-scattered score. Of broken intervals? And I, their sexton slave! Hart Crane
Max Lucado quote: "Even though you may not understand how God works, you know he..."
Even though you may not understand how God works, you know he does. Max Lucado
Jake knew that his mother had a tendency to mistake rules, her rules, for principles. She did not bend because she did not have enough confidence to know when or how far. She did not listen well because one ear was always otherwise engaged - either listening to what she herself had just said or what she would say next. E. L. Konigsburg
It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how music should be played. Ludwig Wittgenstein
Suzanne Collins quote: "You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve..."
You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him. Suzanne Collins
Ben remembered that in Italy, he and Rachel had slipped down between rows of apple trees on the plain of the Po, deep into the cool and dark of orchards, and there they had kissed with the sadness of newlyweds who know that their kisses are too poignantly tender and that their good fortune is subject, like all things, to the crush of time, which remorselessly obliterates what is most desired and pervades all that is beautiful.

It is the mark of our whole modern history that the masses are kept quiet with a fight. They are kept quiet by the fight because it is a sham-fight; thus most of us know by this time that the Party System has been popular only in the sense that a football match is popular. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Sterling Hayden quote: "In the worship of security we fling ourselves beneath the..."
In the worship of security we fling ourselves beneath the wheels of routine-and before we know it our lives are gone. Sterling Hayden
She worries over the way her love for me comes and goes, appears and disappears. She doubts its reality simply because it isn't as steadily pleasurable as a kitten. God knows it is sad. The human voice conspires to desecrate everything on earth. J. D. Salinger
We tend to think human knowledge as progressive; because we know more and more, our parents and grandparents are back numbers. But a contrary theory is possible - that we simply recognize different things at different times and in different ways. Robertson Davies
Teach your scholar to observe the phenomena of nature; you will soon rouse his curiosity, but if you would have it grow, do not be in too great a hurry to satisfy this curiosity. Put the problems before him and let him solve them himself. Let him know nothing because you have told him, but because he has learnt it for himself. Let him not be taught science, let him discover it. If ever you substitute authority for reason he will cease to reason; he will be a mere plaything of other people's... Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The boy told himself that, on the way toward realizing his own destiny, he had learned all he needed to know, and had experienced everything he might have dreamed of. Paulo Coelho
W. H. Auden quote: "Let me see what I wrote so I know what I think"
Let me see what I wrote so I know what I think W. H. Auden
Like the rest of the world, they seemed to have figured out something I didn't know - where they'd come from, where they were going - and moved on. Heather King
All they're trying to do is tell you what they're like, and what you're like—what's going on—what the weather is now, today, this moment, the rain, the sunlight, look! Open your eyes; listen, listen. That is what the novelists say. But they don't tell you what you will see and hear. All they can tell you is what they have seen and heard, in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming, another third of it spent in telling lies. “The truth against the world!”—Yes.... Ursula K. Le Guin
