Not Knowing Quotes (page 18)

Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know. Plato
He remained annoyed with himself until he realized that not knowing what he wanted was actually quite natural. We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can never compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come. Milan Kundera
During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream. Zhuangzi
The Senator did not know who owned the jet, nor had he ever met Mr. Trudeau, which in most cultures would seem odd since Rudd had taken so much money from the man. But in Washington, money arrives through a myriad of strange and nebulous conduits. Often those taking it have only a vague idea of where it's coming from; often they have no clue. In most democracies, the transference of so much cash would be considered outright corruption, but in Washington the corruption has been legalized.... John Grisham
A feeble body makes a feeble mind. I do not know what doctors cure us of, but I know this: they infect us with very deadly diseases, cowardice, timidity, credulity, the fear of death. What matter if they make the dead walk, we have no need of corpses; they fail to give us men, and it is men we need. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Lyndon B. Johnson quote: "I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad."
I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad. Lyndon B. Johnson
She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before. And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving. I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when... Jodi Picoult
Bill Shankly quote: "The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but..."
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game. Bill Shankly
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake. Oswald Chambers
Lao Tzu quote: "The wise man is one who, knows, what he does not know."
The wise man is one who, knows, what he does not know. Lao Tzu
They knew a tremendous number of things? But was it worthwhile knowing all these things if they did not know the one important thing, the only important thing? Herman Hesse
...sometimes we ask ourselves why happiness took so long to arrive, why it didn't come sooner, but appears suddenly, as now, when we've given up hope of it ever arriving, it's likely then that we won't know what to do, and rather than it being a question of choosing between laughter and tears, we will be filled by a secret anxiety to which we might not know how to respond at all. Jose Saramago
When I hear girls I know longing to be what they call liberated, and when I hear others rejoicing in what they think of as liberation, I feel a fool, because I simply do not know where I stand. (Maria Magdalena Theotoky) Robertson Davies
Agatha Christie quote: "A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not..."
A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves Agatha Christie
Joseph de Maistre quote: "I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know..."
I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible. Joseph de Maistre
