Uncertain Quotes (page 5)

Paulo Coelho quote: "People only give value to a thing if they have, at some point,..."

I stand in the sacred human presence. As I do now, so should you stand some day. I pray to your presence that this be so.

Italo Calvino

They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were only ignorant of ordinary things. Terry Prachett

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Marcel Proust quote: "She was "a woman of uncertain age."
She was "a woman of uncertain age. Marcel Proust
The party and the Krikkit warship looked, in their writhings, a little like two ducks, one of which is trying to make a third duck inside the second duck, whilst the second duck is trying very hard to explain that it doesn't feel ready for a third duck right now, is uncertain that it would want any putative third duck anyway, and certainly not whilst it, the second duck, was busy flying. Douglas Adams
Men think that it is essential that the "Nation" have commerce, and export ice, and talk through a telegraph, and ride thirty miles an hour, without a doubt, wether they do or not; but whether we should live like baboons or like men, is a little uncertain. Henry David Thoreau
Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars--a cage, so peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed; so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, and Hope guides us by her star. Charlotte Bronte
In strange and uncertain times such as those we are living in, sometimes a reasonable person might despair. But hope is unreasonable and love is greater even than this. May we trust the inexpressible benevolence of the creative impulse. Robert Fripp
When you are in your twenties, even if you're confused and uncertain about your aims and purposes, you have a strong sense of what life itself is, and of what you in life are, and might become.

Later, the memory becomes a thing of shreds and patches. Julian Barnes
