Knowing Quotes

... I sense that stepping into the light is also a powerful metaphor for consciousness, for the birth of the knowing mind, for the simple and yet momentous coming of the sense of self into the world of the mental Picture Quote #1

A tale is told of twin boys born to different mothers. One is dark by nature, the other light. One is rich, the other poor. One is harsh, the other gentle. One is forever youthful, the other old before his time. One is mortal. They share no bond of blood or sympathy, but they are twins nonetheless. They each live without ever knowing that they are brothers. They each die fighting the blind God Picture Quote #1

It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people Picture Quote #1

I figured that when there’s no way of knowing what the future holds it’s just as easy to believe it’ll be good as to believe it’ll be bad Picture Quote #1

Did she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams? But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime. It was knowing when to abandon a dream, perhaps, that mattered and distinguished the successful people in life from the sad, embittered persons who never moved on from the first of life’s great disappointments. Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all Picture Quote #1

If the world were really right, humans would live life backward and do the first part last. They’d be all knowing in the beginning and innocent in the end Picture Quote #1

Looking at it, I started crying. Maybe it was knowing that I had to give up the fantasy, the enormous life consuming fantasy, that someone or something was going to do this for me – the fantasy that someone was coming to lead my life, to choose direction, to give me orgasms Picture Quote #1

I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved Picture Quote #1

Even still, we run. We have not reached our average of 57.92 years without knowing that you run through it, and it hurts and you run through it some more, and if it hurts worse, you run through it even more, and when you finish, you will have broken through. In the end, when you are done, and stretching, and your heartbeat slows, and your sweat dries, if you’ve run through the hard part, you will remember no pain Picture Quote #1

Hope is a state of mind independent of the state of the world. If your heart’s full of hope, you can be persistent when you can’t be optimistic. You can keep the faith despite the evidence, knowing that only in so doing has the evidence any chance of changing. So while I’m not optimistic, I’m always very hopeful Picture Quote #1

We all know our dates of birth but... every year there is another date that we pass over without knowing what it is but it is just as important it is the other date the death date Picture Quote #1

He thought: How difficult it is to explain yourself to yourself. Sometimes there only is, and no knowing Picture Quote #1

I know I have to stop. We all have to stop. Funny how knowing something’s a bad idea doesn’t make a difference Picture Quote #1

Never talk yourself out of knowing you’re in love or into thinking that you are Picture Quote #1

Her touch was as knowing and confident as her eyes, and as she focused all her attention upon me, I remembered that there is nothing so thrilling as a woman of words when she decides that the time for words is past Picture Quote #1

They luxuriated in the feeling of deep and all pervading satisfaction, a feeling of knowing absolutely that all was well with the world and them and that the world was not only their oyster it was also their linguine with clam sauce. Not only were all things possible, but all things were theirs Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you meet yourself on the road before you have a chance to learn the appropriate greeting. Faced with your own possibilities, the hard part is knowing a speech is not required. All you have to say is yes Picture Quote #1

The horror of knowing someone and living with them and even thinking you’re lucky and then wham and now you know that every person is really two people and how can you ever know what the other half is up to Picture Quote #1

What was it about not knowing a person that allowed you to wonder whether she might be the answer to all your problems? Picture Quote #1

Knowing that everything comes to an end is a gift of experience, a consolation gift for knowing that we ourselves are coming to an end. Before we get it we live in a continuous present, and imagine the future as more of that present. Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing. Pain is endless pain Picture Quote #1

There’s more to getting to where you’re going then just knowing there’s a road Picture Quote #1

Even knowing the ending was sad, I wouldn’t have deprived myself the beauty of the story Picture Quote #1
