Knowledgeable Quotes (page 61)

the meeting between ignorance and knowledge, between brutality and culture - it begins in the dignity with which we treat the dead Frank Herbert
Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets. Joseph Conrad
The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination. Joseph Campbell
Nothing is more curious and awkward than the relationship of two people who only know each other with their eyes? who meet and observe each other daily, even hourly and who keep up the impression of disinterest either because of morals or because of a mental abnormality. Between them there is listlessness and pent-up curiosity, the hysteria of an unsatisfied, unnaturally suppressed need for communion and also a kind of tense respect. Because man loves and honors man as long as he is not able... Thomas Mann
When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear. When the body's intelligence declines, cleverness and knowledge step forth. When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins. When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born. Lao Tzu
IF A MAN EMPTY HIS PURSE INTO HIS HEAD NO MAN CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE AN INVESTMENT KNOWLEDGE ALWAYS PAY THE BEST DIVIDEND. Benjamin Franklin
My only regret involved the sad knowledge that I could not handle the amount of alcohol I would have enjoyed. “Easy is the descent into Hell. Robert A. Heinlein
Khalil Gibran quote: "And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or..."
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. Khalil Gibran
We know that we are not dreaming, but, however unable we may be to prove it rationally, our inability proves nothing but the weakness of our reason, and not the uncertainty of all our knowledge as they maintain. Blaise Pascal
You instinctively know that nothing will ever be the same, and you have to carry that knowledge around with you like a huge weight. The next time you see your girl, you can’t look her straight in the eyes the same way you did for all those years. Anthony Kiedis
Terry Goodkind quote: "Everybody knows it. Wizards are supposed to have beards. It's..."
Everybody knows it. Wizards are supposed to have beards. It's common knowledge. Terry Goodkind
Overpowered by the sadness of not knowing what there is in the world, and what I'm doing. Feeling completely indifferent to good and evil too, to beauty or anything else. I know that this is the root of all human troubles, all of them. Indifferent to that knowledge, too. Nothing got written. Jack Kerouac
To use books rightly, is to go to them for help; to appeal to them when our own knowledge and power fail; to be led by them into wider sight and purer conception than our own, and to receive from them the united sentence of the judges and councils of all time, against our solitary and unstable opinions. John Ruskin
Joseph Conrad quote: "It is my belief no man ever understands quite his own artful..."
It is my belief no man ever understands quite his own artful dodges to escape from the grim shadow of self knowledge. Joseph Conrad
We boast our light; but if we look not wisely on the run itself, it smites us into darkness. Who can discern those planets that are oft combust, and those starts of brightest magnitude that rise and set with the sun, until the opposite motion of their orbs bring them to such a place in the firmament where they may be seen evening or morning? The light which we have gained was given us, not to be ever staring on, but by it to discover onward things more remote from our knowledge. John Milton
