Unknown Quotes

The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls Picture Quote #1

Books. They are lined up on shelves or stacked on a table. There they are wrapped up in there jackets, lines of neat print on nicely bound pages. They look like such orderly, static things. Then you, the reader come along. You open the book jacket, and it can be like opening the gates to an unknown city, or opening the lid of a treasure chest. You read the first word and you’re off on a journy of exploration and discovery Picture Quote #1

Hope was based on the unknown, and I liked knowing things. Like that I was going to fail. Failure had better odds Picture Quote #1

That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world’s sounds Picture Quote #1

There are sacraments of evil as well as of good about us, and we live and move to my belief in an unknown world, a place where there are caves and shadows and dwellers in twilight. It is possible that man may sometimes return on the track of evolution, and it is my belief that an awful lore is not yet dead Picture Quote #1

Hope and curiosity about the future seemed better than guarantees. The unknown was always so attractive to me... and still is Picture Quote #1

Anxiety and desire are two, often conflicting, orientations to the unknown. Both are tilted toward the future. Desire implies a willingness, or a need, to engage this unknown, while anxiety suggests a fear of it. Desire takes one out of oneself, into the possibility or relationship, but it also takes one deeper into oneself. Anxiety turns one back on oneself, but only onto the self that is already known Picture Quote #1

I loved her for the way she embraced the unknown, how she opened herself up to every experience. When I was with her, she opened me up, too, stirred my passion and heightened my every sensation. Which was great, until she left me and all my heightened senses to deal with the heartache of losing her Picture Quote #1

Remember that fear causes to happen the very things it fears. That’s why fear should be unknown to us Picture Quote #1

And we danced, on the brink of an unknown future, to an echo from a vanished past Picture Quote #1

I’m now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I’m working at turning myself into a seer. You won’t understand any of this, and I’m almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It’s really not my fault Picture Quote #1

What else should our lives be but a continual series of beginnings, of painful settings out into the unknown, pushing off from the edges of consciousness into the mystery of what we have not yet become Picture Quote #1

Death, of course, should not be feared, but awaited with certain wonder. To die was to step across a threshold into a new world, unknown, unimaginable Picture Quote #1

Effort makes some great men famous. Even greater effort enables other great men to remain unknown Picture Quote #1

People speak of a will to live. They rarely speak of a will to die. Because people are afraid of death. Death is dark and unknown and frightening. But not for me. It is not the end Picture Quote #1

In the landscape of time, there are few locations less comfortable than that of one who waits for some person or event to arrive at some unknown moment in the future Picture Quote #1

How can the unknown merit reverence? In other words how can you revere that of which you are ignorant? At the same time, it would be ridiculous to propose that what we know merits reverence. What we know merits any one of a number of things, but it stands to reason reverence isn’t one of them. In other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there? Picture Quote #1

Keep children as much as possible by themselves... keep them from company, good or bad... It will be generally found that the most virtuous and the most intellectual, are those who have been brought up with few companions... in fact his mental resources may be considered entirely unknown and unexplored, who cannot spend his best and happiest hours alone Picture Quote #1

One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple does not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough Picture Quote #1

Peace as a positive condition of society, not merely as an interim between wars, is something so unknown that it casts no images on the mind’s screen Picture Quote #1

To me art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk Picture Quote #1

Economic development over the past two centuries has taken most of humanity from lives that were brutal, ignorant and short, to personal health and security, material comfort and knowledge that were unknown to the elites of the wealthiest and most powerful societies in earlier times Picture Quote #1

The most unknown, unused and unrecognised tool of the human mind, is the recognition that attitude is always a choice Picture Quote #1

Those who do not know the torment of the unknown cannot have the joy of discovery Picture Quote #1

It were indeed to be wish’d that our art had been less ingenious, in contriving means destructive to mankind; we mean those instruments of war, which were unknown to the ancients, and have made such havoc among the moderns. But as men have always been bent on seeking each other’s destruction by continual wars; and as force, when brought against us, can only be repelled by force; the chief support of war, must, after money, be now sought in chemistry Picture Quote #1

As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown Picture Quote #1

Lots of ambitious work by young artists ends up in a dumpster after its warehouse debut. So an unknown artist’s big glass vitrine holding a rotting cow’s head covered by maggots and swarms of buzzing flies may be pretty unsellable. Until the artist becomes a star. Then he can sell anything he touches Picture Quote #1

When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting Picture Quote #1

Some things cannot be spoken or discovered until we have been stuck, incapacitated, or blown off course for awhile. Plain sailing is pleasant, but you are not going to explore many unknown realms that way Picture Quote #1
