Knows Quotes (page 309)

Our hope concerning the future is great, and our faith is strong. We know we’ve scarcely scratched the surface of that which will come to pass in the years that lie ahead. Gordon B. Hinckley
In the land of Ingary where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of the three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes. Diana Wynne Jones
...and a dream away in space with neither her nor there where all the footsteps ever fell can never fare nearer to anywhere nor from anywhere further away. Nor for in the end again by degrees or as though switched on dark falls there again that certain dark that alone certain ashes can. Through it who knows yet another end beneath a cloudless sky of a last end if ever there had to be another absolutely had to be. Samuel Beckett
Michel de Montaigne quote: "Que sais-je?" (What do I know?)"
Que sais-je?" (What do I know?) Michel de Montaigne
Martin Luther King jr. quote: "[I] know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's..."
[I] know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems.... Martin Luther King jr.
A tree is alive, and thus it is always more than you can see. Roots to leaves, yes-those you can, in part, see. But it is more-it is the lichens and moss and ferns that grow on its bark, the life too small to see that lives among its roots, a community we know of, but do not think on. It is every fly and bee and beetle that uses it for shelter or food, every bird that nests in its branches. Every one an individual, and yet every one part of the tree, and the tree part of every one. Elizabeth Moon
When it's pouring rain and you're bowling along through the wet, there's satisfaction in knowing you're out there and the others aren't. Peter Snell
When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun. John Lennon
George Byron quote: "Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy..."
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it. George Byron
I know where a lot of them [the elite or elitists] live. Where's that? Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there. John McCain
Anne Rice quote: "The prince is never going to come. Everyone knows that; and..."
The prince is never going to come. Everyone knows that; and maybe sleeping beauty's dead. Anne Rice
Was I gleeful, settled, content, during the hours I passed in yonder bare, humble schoolroom this morning and afternoon? Not to decieve myself, I must reply -- No: I felt desolate to a degree. I felt -- yes, idiot that I am -- I felt degraded. I doubted I had taken a step which sank instead of raising me in the scale of social existence. I was weakly dismayed at the ignorance, the poverty, the coarseness of all I heard and saw around me. But let me not hate and despise myself too much... Charlotte Bronte
Annie turned away, her eyes glittering. 'Here's what no one tells you,' she said. 'When you deliver a fetus, you get a death certificate, but not a birth certificate. And afterward, your milk comes in, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.' She looked up at me. 'You can't win. Either you have the baby and wear your pain on the outside, or you don't have the baby, and you keep that ache in you forever. I know I didn't do the wrong thing. But I don't feel like I did the right thing, either. Jodi Picoult
Ayn Rand quote: "To say "I love you" one must know first how to say the "I"."
To say "I love you" one must know first how to say the "I". Ayn Rand
Weston: Look at my outlook. You don't envy it, right? Wesley: No. Weston: That's because it's full of poison. Infected. And you recognize poison, right? You recognize it when you see it? Wesley: Yes. Weston: Yes, you do. I can see that you do. My poison scares you. Wesley: Doesn't scare me. Weston: No? Wesley: No. Weston: Good. You're growing up. I never saw my old man's poison until I was much older than you. Much older. And then you know how I recognized it? Wesley: How? Weston: Because I... Sam Shepard
