Knowingly Quotes (page 326)

There is a tradition that jumping off a precipice is prejudicial to the health; and therefore nobody does it. Then appears a progressive prophet and reformer, who points out that we really know nothing about it, because nobody does it. And the tradition is thereby mocked - to the peril of us all. Gilbert K. Chesterton
I believed we could know what was happening to us. We were not excluded from our own lives. That is not my head on someone else's body in the photograph that's introduced as evidence. I didn't believe that nations play-act on a grand scale. I lived in the real. Don DeLillo
The Way of Mastery is to break all the rules—but you have to know them perfectly before you can do this; otherwise you are not in a position to transcend them. Aleister Crowley

And I can't possibly write to strangers. Rainer Maria Rilke

Albert Einstein quote: "Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to..."
Intelligence is not the ability to store information, but to know where to find it. Albert Einstein
I'm not stupid. I know exactly what's going on, and I'm not fighting it. If I have to go through this, I will glean from it any small benefit I can receive. I will not fight this. Bring it on. Bring on the cure. Bring on the fucking happy. I'm committed. Emilie Autumn
I swear I only want to hear about you, to know what you've been doing. It's a hundred years since we've met-it may be another hundred before we meet again. Edith Wharton
Saul Bellow quote: "She's very pretty but she's honey from the icebox, if you know..."
She's very pretty but she's honey from the icebox, if you know what I mean. Cold sweets won't spread. Saul Bellow
Living "in" a story, being part of a narrative, is much more satisfying than living without one. I don't always know what narrative it is, because I'm living my life and not always reflecting on it, but as I edit these pages I am aware that I have an urge to see my sometimes random wandering as having a plot, a purpose guided by some underlying story. David Byrne
I believe we shall come to care about people less and less, Helen. The more people one knows, the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London. I quite expect to end my life caring most for a place. E. M. Forster
