Not Knowing Quotes (page 51)

La Maga did not know that my kisses were like eyes which began to open up beyond her, and that I went along outside as if I saw a different concept of the world, the dizzy pilot of a black prow which cut the water of time and negated it. Julio Cortazar
Willa Cather quote: "Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better..."

Those who do tend to cite the markers that indicate (their own) status in the world: the Stanford degree....Those of us less inclined to compliment ourselves on our parenting skills, in other words most of us, recite rosaries of our failures, our neglects, our derelictions and delinquencies.

I am the suburb of a non-existent town, the prolix commentary on a book never written. I am nobody, nobody. I am a character in a novel which remains to be written, and I float, aerial, scattered without ever having been, among the dreams of a creature who did not know how to finish me off. Fernando Pessoa
Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act.

Here are some passing thoughts. Imagine looking up at the moon and seeing it burning. Imagine seeing the grocery store’s checkout girl grow horns. Imagine growing younger instead of older. Imagine feeling more powerful and more capable of falling in love with life every new day instead of being scared and sick and not knowing whether to stay under a sheet or venture forth into the cold. Doug Coupland
In the morning they came up out of the ravine and took to the road again. He'd carved the boy a flute from a piece of roadside cane and he took it from his coat and gave it to him. The boy took it wordlessly. After a while he fell back and after a while the man could hear him playing. A formless music for the age to come. Or perhaps the last music on earth called up from out of the ashes of its ruin. The man turned and looked back at him. He was lost in concentration. The man thought he... Cormac McCarthy

He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little. Horace
Paulo Coelho quote: "Waiting Hurts. Forgetting Hurts. But not knowing which..."
Waiting Hurts. Forgetting Hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering. Paulo Coelho
We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation -rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Terry Eagleton quote: "[A] great deal of what we believe we do not know firsthand;..."
[A] great deal of what we believe we do not know firsthand; instead we have faith in the knowledge of specialists. Terry Eagleton

In the highest antiquity, (the people) did not know that there were (their rulers). Lao Tzu
He did not know which was more painful, the waking or the sleeping. When he slept, he dreamed: dark disturbing dreams of blood and broken promises. When he woke, there was nothing to do but think, and his waking thoughts were worse than nightmares. George R. R. Martin
The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea. Peter S. Beagle
