Knowing Quotes (page 83)

I long for the simplicity of theatre. I want lessons learned, comeuppances delivered, people sorted out, all before your bladder gets distractingly full. That's what I want. What I know is what we all know, whether we'll admit it or not: every attempt to impose the roundness of a well-made play on reality produces a disaster. Life just isn't so, nor will it be made so. John M. Ford
Bret Easton Ellis quote: "No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each..."
No one will ever know anyone. We just have to deal with each other. You're not ever gonna know me. Bret Easton Ellis
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe. Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything. Suddenly I know exactly what I did but I can not move a thing, and suddenly I know exactly what I've done and what it's gonna mean to me.... I'M GONE!!! John Mayer
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing..."
man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing worth knowing. Kurt Vonnegut
I would know of myself through the witnessing and naming of others. As Jesus in the Gospels is only seen and spoken of and recorded by others. I would know my existence and the value of that existence through others' eyes, which I believed I could trust as I could not trust my own. Joyce Carol Oates
I love her still, for if you know anything about that kind of feeling, you know how close it is connected to hopelessness and thus is about the only thing in civilization that don't degenerate with time. Thomas Berger
Agatha Christie quote: "Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best."
Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best. Agatha Christie
The night had fallen. I had let my tools drop from my hands. Of what moment now was my hammer, my bolt, or thirst, or death? On one star, one planet, my planet, the Earth, there was a little prince to be comforted. I took him in my arms, and rocked him. I said to him: "The flower that you love is not in danger. I will draw you a muzzle for your sheep. I will draw you a railing to put around your flower. I will --" I did not know what to say to him. I felt awkward and blundering. I did not... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Jose Saramago quote: "You know the name you were given, you do not know the name..."
You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have Jose Saramago
You know what's wrong with scientific power? It's a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are. Michael Crichton
Insensibly he formed the most delightful habit in the world, the habit of reading: he did not know that thus he was providing himself with a refuge from all the distress of life; he did not know either that he was creating for himself an unreal world which would make the real world of every day a source of bitter disappointment. W. Somerset Maugham
No thanks," said Digory, "I don't know that I care much about living on and on after everyone I know is dead. I'd rather live an ordinary time and die and go to Heaven. C. S. Lewis
Cornelia Funke quote: "You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the..."
You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the evidence of your eyes. You just know them. Cornelia Funke
Perhaps someone will have seen mine, the one I’m waiting for, just as I saw him, in a ditch when his hands were making their last appeal and his eyes no longer could see. Someone who will never know what that man was to me; someone whose name I’ll never know. Marguerite Duras
Once a King in Narnia, always a King in Narnia. But don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it. And don't talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don't mention it to anyone else unless you find that they've had adventures of the same sort themselves. What's that? How will you know? Oh, you'll know all right. Odd things, they say-even their looks-will let the secret out. Keep your eyes open. Bless... C. S. Lewis
