J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I don't know, and I would rather not guess."
I don't know, and I would rather not guess. J. R. R. Tolkien
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference. Abraham Lincoln
Paracelsus quote: "He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing..."
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. Paracelsus
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. Albert Einstein
.. but I know somebody must be thinking about us because if they weren't we'd just disappear just like those Indians who used to climb the pueblos. Those Indians disappeared with food still cooking in the pot and air waiting to be breathed and they turned into birds or dust or the blue of the sky or the yellow of the sun. There they were and suddenly they were forgotten for just a second and for just a second nobody thought about them and then they were gone. Sherman Alexie
John Grisham quote: "I don't feel stupid, just inadequate. After three years of..."
I don't feel stupid, just inadequate. After three years of studying the law, I'm very much aware of how little I know. John Grisham
-- And these thingsthat keep alive on departure know that you praise them; transient, they look to us, the most transient, to be their rescue. They want us to change them completely, in our invisible hearts, into -- O endlessly -- us! Whoever, finally, we may be. Rainer Maria Rilke
Norton Juster quote: "Everybody is so terribly sensitive about the things they know..."
Everybody is so terribly sensitive about the things they know best. Norton Juster
Deluded or not, it's still a lucky way to live. Even though it's temporary. It may well be that the lower-ranked little kids at E.T.A. are proportionally happier than the higher-ranked kids, since we (who are mostly not small children) know it's more invigorating to want than to have, it seems. Though maybe this is just the inverse of the same delusion. David Foster Wallace
Do you know what I did? I urrrrrinated on the cake at my ex-wife's wedding. Pissssed all over the icing."Melvin Baylor - Seven Up Janet Evanovich
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. E. B. White
Albert Camus quote: "I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't..."
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold. Albert Camus
Your calling isn’t something that somebody can tell you about. It’s what you feel. It is the thing that gives you juice. The thing that you are supposed to do. And nobody can tell you what that is. You know it inside yourself. Oprah Winfrey
Agatha Christie quote: "At my time of life, one knows that the worst is usually true."
At my time of life, one knows that the worst is usually true. Agatha Christie
Thomas Merton quote: "A man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops..."
A man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops thinking about how to live and begins to live. Thomas Merton
