Words have meaning beyond the obvious. Words have consequences beyond intentions. Civil words align risk and reward of such unknowns. ~ John R. Dallas Jr.
Unknowns quotes by John R. Dallas Jr.
And what lies unknown within us includes such surprising things as ships that go through towns, seas that are momentarily indistinguishable from skies, fantasies that our beloved family will die in a major conflagration, and intense feelings of love sparked by contact with smooth skin. ~ Alain De Botton
Unknowns quotes by Alain De Botton
Whoever thinks algebra is a trick in obtaining unknowns has thought it in vain. No attention should be paid to the fact that algebra and geometry are different in appearance. Algebras (jabbre and maqabeleh) are geometric facts which are proved by propositions five and six of Book two of Elements. ~ Omar Khayyam
Unknowns quotes by Omar Khayyam
Another thing he told his customers was that one of the great accounting unknowns of the modern age was how to value knowledge. It was an exciting field. ~ Jane Smiley
Unknowns quotes by Jane Smiley
For everything that's known about Lyme disease, there are still an extraordinary number of unknowns in some fairly fundamental areas. ~ Vanessa Farnsworth
Unknowns quotes by Vanessa Farnsworth
In every person's story there are unknowns-struggles only they know about, fears they've tried to overcome but still harbor, disappointments & sorrows they bear. The last thing any of us wants-or needs-is to be judged by others who don't know our stories, in part or at all. ~ Jane Clayson Johnson
Unknowns quotes by Jane Clayson Johnson
There are two unknowns in the World. The Poles and the Turks! ~ Albert Sorel
Unknowns quotes by Albert Sorel
The principal difference between childhood and the stages of life into which it invariably dissolves is that as children we occupy a limitless present. The past has scarcely room to exist, since, if it means anything at all, it means only the previous day. Similarly, the future is in abeyance; we are not meant to do anything at all until we reach a suitable size. Correspondingly, the present is enormous, mainly because it is all there is.... Walks are dizzying adventures; the days tingle with unknowns, waiting to be made into wonders. Living so utterly in the present, children have an infinite power to transform; they are able to make the world into anything they wish, and they do so, with alacrity. There are no preconceptions, which is why, when a child tells us he is Napoleon, we had better behave with the respect due to a small emperor. Later in life, the transformations are forbidden; they may prove dangerous. By then, we move into a context of expectations and precedents of past and future, and the present, whenever we manage to catch it and realize it, is a shifting, elusive question mark, not altogether comfortable, an oddness that the scheme of our lives does not allow us to indulge. Habit takes over, and days tend to slip into pigeonholes, accounted for because everything has happened before, because we know by then that life is long and has to be intelligently endured. ~ Alastair Reid
Unknowns quotes by Alastair Reid
I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace. ~ Bjork
Unknowns quotes by Bjork
Love chooses to believe the best about people. It gives them the benefit of the doubt. It refuses to fill in the unknowns with negative assumptions. And when our worst hopes are proven to be true, love makes every effort to deal with them and move forward. As much as possible, love focuses on the positive. ~ Stephen Kendrick
Unknowns quotes by Stephen Kendrick
The idea that you can cross a dimension, or commune with the dead, or life on other planets ... these are the great unknowns. They will be debated as long as their is life. I think there's an inherent interest from people in what that stuff is. ~ James Roday
Unknowns quotes by James Roday
I do not need the Lord to heal me. What I need is the faith to trust him no matter what happens. In this, I have begun to realize that great faith is borne in the great unknowns of life. ~ Kasey Van Norman
Unknowns quotes by Kasey Van Norman
The Grum's Ledger is a tale of regret. In real life, there was no happy ending. Alexander Grum died alone because he was afraid to seize love and risk and all the unknowns that go with it. He chose certainty- and it was his ruin. ~ Jon Cohen
Unknowns quotes by Jon Cohen
There are known knowns and known unknowns, but what we should be worried about most is the unknown unknowns. ~ Gary Marcus
Unknowns quotes by Gary Marcus
When you start talking about the known knowns and the unknown unknowns, you're thrown into a crazy meta-level discussion. Do I know what I know, do I know what I don't know, do I know what I don't know I don't know. It becomes a strange, Lewis Carroll - like nursery rhyme. ~ Errol Morris
Unknowns quotes by Errol Morris
We know there are certain types of viruses that are nasty - influenza, for instance, is an area that is not a blindside. But a lot of viruses have come out of nowhere, like H.I.V., or to a certain extent SARS. Because we know we have the potential to be blindsided, we really have to investigate the unknowns. ~ Nathan Wolfe
Unknowns quotes by Nathan Wolfe
Life is one big enigma. If you got to the bottom of it before the end of your lifetime, the rest of your life wouldn't be worth living, now would it? Where's the excitement in an existence with all the unknowns known? ~ Elle Casey
Unknowns quotes by Elle Casey
[My poetry is] a way of coming to grips with reality ... a way of discovery and definition. It is a way of solving for the unknowns. ~ Robert Hayden
Unknowns quotes by Robert Hayden
The unknowns wasn't full of terrors, it was full of undiscovered advantages. Better to run toward something than from something. ~ Rachel Caine
Unknowns quotes by Rachel Caine
unknowns - all the things that transcended understanding, the miracles that pervaded individual lives and stretched back to a majesty spoken into existence, to a sacrifice that continued to resonate within our souls thousands of years later. A sacrifice based on adoption: he chose us, he loved us, then he died for the worst within us. ~ Sibella Giorello
Unknowns quotes by Sibella Giorello
It is in adolescence that most of us grasp that life--our own life--is a problem to be solved, that a set of personal unknowns must now be factored together with the frightening variables of experience. The future suddenly appears--it is the space upon which the answers will be inscribed. ~ Sven Birkerts
Unknowns quotes by Sven Birkerts
And for once, Donald Rumsfeld, in the news at the time over the Iraq war made sense to me: "As we know," he said, famously, "there are known knowns-things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns-things we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns- things we don't know we don't know. ~ Benjamin Mee
Unknowns quotes by Benjamin Mee
Always, just beyond all these things, was the silver sea, the lace border around all land like the silence around sounds or the unknowns beyond all knowledge. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Unknowns quotes by Rebecca Solnit
They ought not to have let things come to this," he said, but he was never very clear even to himself who or why "They" were nor what "This" was. Some person or persons unknown was to blame. He hated these unknowns in general. But he was unable to focus his hatred into hating some responsible person or persons in particular. If only he could find who it was had neglected to do something, or had done something wrong or messed about with things, they would catch it. He'd get even with them somehow. ~ H.G.Wells
Unknowns quotes by H.G.Wells
For a found-footage-style movie, there's a definite advantage in using unknowns, because it helps sell the illusion that it's real. A known actor would get in the way of the suspension of disbelief. ~ Oren Peli
Unknowns quotes by Oren Peli
Somewhere on earth there is a door reserved for each soul, and one day each of us will walk through that door never to return to this life again. Where that door is and when we will walk through it are unknowns we must live with and prepare for. Upon death, all of this
this whole world and all of its charms and occupations
will become as if it were all a dream. ~ Hamza Yusuf
Unknowns quotes by Hamza Yusuf
It's the last frontier to conquer, other people, strangers, the jungle of their arms and legs, hair and skin, the smells and moans that is everybody you haven't done. The great unknowns. The last forest to devastate. Here's everything you've only imagined. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Unknowns quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Isn't the easiest thing at this point to start living in a guarded, safe, controlled way? To sop taking risks and to be ruled by our fears of what could happen? Turning inward is one way to respond; the other is to acknowledge our lack of control and reach out for God's help. IF life were stable, I'd never need God's help. Since it's not, I reach out for Him regularly. I am thankful for the unknowns and that I don't have control because it makes me run to God. ~ Francis Chan
Unknowns quotes by Francis Chan
Film is much more of a brand business, whereas on Broadway, you can do complete unknowns and have hits. ~ Kevin McCollum
Unknowns quotes by Kevin McCollum
I have found there are real objects under in intelligent control being seen on the ground and in our skies worldwire. The unknowns have varied over the decades from 22 percent in my own civilian files, 30 percent in the University of Colorda Condon Committee scientific studies, to at least 40 percent recently revised found in the U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book military investigations. This is not acceptable, no matter who is doing the investigations. ~ George Fawcett
Unknowns quotes by George Fawcett
You laugh because what's fearful and unknown is also what's funny, you laugh the way a small child will sometimes laugh and cry at the same time when a capering circus clown approaches, knowing it is supposed to be funny... but it is also unknown, full of the unknown's eternal power. ~ Stephen King
Unknowns quotes by Stephen King
The interesting thing about Bettie Page that I discovered was to leave the mystery. She always retained a little mystery. Let there be some unknowns. ~ Gretchen Mol
Unknowns quotes by Gretchen Mol
Even though the unknowns are as innumerable as seashells scattered on a beach, the knowns are clear as glass and infinitely more powerful. ~ Nina Lane
Unknowns quotes by Nina Lane
Pain is inevitable but so is joy. Too many of us resort to abject fear or anger due to our sufferings or unknowns in life. Remain steadfast by approaching discovery and love so you can embrace the present moment. The past can serve as nothing more than a lesson and the future can serve as nothing more than a notion. ~ Adam Starks
Unknowns quotes by Adam Starks
Life involves a lot of unknowns. ~ S.L. Wallace
Unknowns quotes by S.L. Wallace
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Unknowns quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
Ken appeared, was taller than she, wanted her, was acceptable and accepted on all sides; similarly, nagging mathematical problems abruptly crack open. Foxy could find no fault with him, and this challenged her, touched off her stubborn defiant streak. She felt between his handsomeness and intelligence a contradiction that might develop into the convoluted humour of her Jew. Ken looked lika a rich boy and worked like a poor one. From Farmington, he was the only son of a Hartford laywer who never lost a case. Foxy came to imagine his birth as cool and painless, without a tear or outcry. Nothing puzzled him. There were unknowns, but no mysteries. ( ... ) He was better-looking, better-thinking, a better machine. ~ John Updike
Unknowns quotes by John Updike
The object of storytelling, like the object of magic, is not to explain or to resolve, but rather to create and to perform miracles of the imagination. To extend the boundaries of the mysterious. To push into the unknown in pursuit of still other unknowns. To reach into one's heart, down into that place where the stories are, bringing up the mystery of oneself. ~ Tim O'Brien
Unknowns quotes by Tim O'Brien
We want progress in medicine to be clear and unequivocal, but of course it rarely is. Every new treatment has gaping unknowns - for both patients and society - and it can be hard to decide what do do about them. ~ Atul Gawande
Unknowns quotes by Atul Gawande
a world of known risk, in short, risk (Figure 2-3, center). I use this term for a world where all alternatives, consequences, and probabilities are known. Lotteries and games of chance are examples. Most of the time, however, we live in a changing world where some of these are unknown: where we face unknown risks, or uncertainty (Figure 2-3, right). The world of uncertainty is huge compared to that of risk. Whom to marry? Whom to trust? What to do with the rest of one's life? In an uncertain world, it is impossible to determine the optimal course of action by calculating the exact risks. We have to deal with "unknown unknowns." Surprises happen. Even when calculation does not provide a clear answer, however, we have to make decisions. ~ Gerd Gigerenzer
Unknowns quotes by Gerd Gigerenzer
Some of the biggest challenges faced by computers and human minds alike: how to manage finite space, finite time, limited attention, unknown unknowns, incomplete information, and an unforeseeable future; how to do so with grace and confidence; and how to do so in a community with others who are all simultaneously trying to do the same. ~ Brian Christian
Unknowns quotes by Brian Christian
There are endless unknowns, and no forecast of a century can be either complete or utterly correct. ~ George Friedman
Unknowns quotes by George Friedman
Of course there are unknowns. And the sooner Aurore begins to meet them, the sooner they will cease to be unknown. That is the point. ~ Cameron Dokey
Unknowns quotes by Cameron Dokey
As long as Nature's actions in the animate and inanimate world fill us with wonder and offer an unmatched example for us, a realm of solutions that exceeds in its perfection and complexity everything we can achieve ourselves, the number of unknowns will be bigger than our knowledge. It is only when we are eventually able to compete with Nature on the level of creation, when we have learned to copy it so that we can discover all of its limitations as a Designer, that we shall enter the realm of freedom, of being able to work out a creative strategy subordinated to our goals. ~ Stanislaw Lem
Unknowns quotes by Stanislaw Lem
I thought that I must always search for the remarkable combinations, add unknowns, mix things that were clearly marked with things beyond marking. I would leave the simulated test and enter into forbidden territory. I would look for that moment when I would begin to pour alone and in wonder. I would always try to seize that moment and to accept its challenge. I wanted to become the seeker, the aroused and passionate explorer, and it was better to go at it knowing nothing at all, always choosing the unmarked bottle, always choosing your own unproven method, armed with nothing faith and a belief in astonishment. And if by accident, I could make a volcano in a single test tube, then what could I do with all the strange magnificent elements of the world with its infinity of unknowns, with the swarm of man, with civilization, with language? ~ Pat Conroy
Unknowns quotes by Pat Conroy
Link Wray and Gene Vincent ... two of the greatest unknowns of rock 'n' roll. ~ John Lennon
Unknowns quotes by John Lennon
I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue dreams and goals. Just don't forsake the present for the unknowns of the future. A lot of happiness is bypassed, overlooked, postponed to a time years from now that may never come. Don't bide your time and miss out on this moment for a tomorrow with no guarantee. ~ Kim Holden
Unknowns quotes by Kim Holden
Several large, artificial constructions are approaching us, ZORAC announced after a short pause. The designs are not familiar, but they are obviously the products of intelligence. Implications: we have been intercepted deliberately by a means unknown, for a purpose unknown, and transferred to a place unknown by a form of intelligence unknown. Apart from the unknowns, everything is obvious. ~ James P. Hogan
Unknowns quotes by James P. Hogan
While the rest of the body is covered, the face is naked. The vulnerability of this nakedness issues a profound call for understanding and compassion. The human face is a meeting place of two unknowns: the infinity of the outer world and the unchartered, inner world to which each individual alone has access. This is the night world that lies behind the brightness of the visage. The smile on a face is a surprise or illumination. It is as if the inner night of this hidden world brightens suddenly, when the smile crosses the face. Heidegger ~ John O'Donohue
Unknowns quotes by John O'Donohue
Funniest part of life
"We judge others, not knowing our own mistakes.
We advise others, not knowing we also need to follow.
We gossip about others, not knowing others do gossip about us.
We nag comparing others, not knowing we are far better than others.
We say we are unlucky, not knowing how much lucky we are in terms of many things.
We say no time, not knowing how much time we waste in reality.
We say no money, not knowing how much is spent on unnecessary things.
We don't respect elders when we are young, not knowing we too get old.
In life there are 'known knowns", 'known unknowns', 'unknown unknowns', but there are 'knowingly unknowns' which is the funniest part of life. ~ Venu CV
Unknowns quotes by Venu CV
There are many unknowns in life. This is patently clear again and again when we face vocational transitions. We cannot see around the bend in the road. We make decisions about our lives with implications for the lives of those we love and those for whom we have some responsibilities, and there are so many unknown variables. But there is one key variable that can be a known factor in our lives: The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. (Ps 121:8) On this we can depend. It will be the same now and for each transition of our lives. If we believe this, it will be evident because fear will no longer co-opt our lives. ~ Gordon T. Smith
Unknowns quotes by Gordon T. Smith
Man's wobbly little mind isn't equipped for hauling around the great unknowns.
Very few people realize, there's no point chasing after answers to life's important questions. They all have fickle, highly whimsical minds of their own.
Nevertheless. If you're patient, if you don't rush them, when they're ready, they'll smash into you. And don't be surprised if afterward you're speechless and there are cartoon Tweety Birds chirping around your head. ~ Marisha Pessl
Unknowns quotes by Marisha Pessl
Life is a walk through the forest. Don't fear the trees, fear what lurks behind them. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Unknowns quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Unknowns quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
There is a moment between sleeping and waking where one is free. Consciousness has returned, but awareness has yet to rip away the thin screen between the waker and his surroundings, his reality. You float free of context, in no place – not sleeping, not fully awake, not at the mercy of the unknowns of the subconscious, and not yet exposed to the dull knowns of care and routine. It is at this point, between two worlds, that I think I am happiest. ~ Will Wiles
Unknowns quotes by Will Wiles
There are known knowns, things we know that we know; and there are known unknowns, things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns, things we do not know we don't know. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Unknowns quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
We all have morning rituals that give us the comfort of familiarity even if our days are unknowns. ~ Maria Alexandra Vettese
Unknowns quotes by Maria Alexandra Vettese
Surely the heart is not a fitting place to house hatred. But where is its place? I don't know. That is one of the universe's Unknowns. It would seem that the God's truly delight in messing things up, for in not having created a particular spot to house hatred, they have provoked eternal chaos. Hatred us forever hunting down a refuge, poking it's nose where it shouldn't, taking over sites reserved for others, invariably forcing out love. ~ Laura Esquivel
Unknowns quotes by Laura Esquivel
I was interested in big unknowns, and the brain is one of the biggest, so building tools that allow us to regard the brain as a big electrical circuit appealed to me. ~ Edward Boyden
Unknowns quotes by Edward Boyden
What I'm trying to say is this: there are things in this world that are better left as unknowns ~ Haruki Murakami
Unknowns quotes by Haruki Murakami
The problem with certainty is that it is static; it can do little but endlessly reassert itself. Uncertainty, by contrast, is full of unknowns, possibilities, and risks. (65) ~ Stephen Batchelor
Unknowns quotes by Stephen Batchelor
A point contains more unknowns than anything else; it need but stir, move, and it may turn into thousands of curves, thousands of bodies. I ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Unknowns quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
There are so many unknowns, and so many possibilities. Sometimes there are things you can say, and talking makes it better. But sometimes, there are no words. ~ E. Katherine Kottaras
Unknowns quotes by E. Katherine Kottaras
The corollary of constant change is ignorance. This is not often talked about: we computer experts barely know what we're doing. We're good at fussing and figuring out. We function well in a sea of unknowns. Our experience has only prepared us to deal with confusion. A programmer who denies this is probably lying, or else is densely unaware of himself. ~ Ellen Ullman
Unknowns quotes by Ellen Ullman
Whatever your fears, whatever the unknowns or the challenges in your life, God has promised to provide for you, to share His pleasure with you, to protect you, and to give you His enduring presence. ~ Nancy Leigh Leigh DeMoss
Unknowns quotes by Nancy Leigh Leigh DeMoss
It was a relief to inhabit someone else's life for a while, to get her personal issues for a brief respite. In a play, she knew exactly how all her character's problems would be resolved. No matter how the cast performed, the end turned out the same. No questions, no worries, no unknowns. ~ Alexandra Robbins
Unknowns quotes by Alexandra Robbins
When I got diagnosed, the more research I did about it - MS overall, as a subject, as a disease - there's a lot of misconceptions and there's a lot of unknowns about it, and there wasn't anyone out that was close to my age or close to anything like me out there. ~ Jack Osbourne
Unknowns quotes by Jack Osbourne
It makes me self-conscious. It's because I'm known, in the limelight, that it's getting all the gravy, but if you knew, if you saw some of the people who make it possible for UNICEF to help these children survive. These are the people who do the jobs-the unknowns, whose names you will never know ... I at least get a dollar a year, but they don't. ~ Audrey Hepburn
Unknowns quotes by Audrey Hepburn
Appeals to imagined forces and phenomena have been the basis for all the cosmological models proposed to avoid the big bang implications about God. The disproof of these models and the ongoing appeal by nontheists to more and more bizarre unknowns and unknowables seem to reflect the growing strength of the case for theism. ~ Hugh Ross
Unknowns quotes by Hugh Ross
There is no greater mystery than a love interest when you first met them - so much to learn and so many unknowns. What's her favorite food? What's she into? All the things that would eventually be made known in a relationship. ~ David Bowick
Unknowns quotes by David Bowick
In mathematics, in place of characters, you have variables or unknowns. If I'm trying to plot a theorem, I try to imagine these variables interacting with each other. The boundary of their interaction is the theorem. ~ Manil Suri
Unknowns quotes by Manil Suri
We all live far away and anonymous; disguised, we suffer as unknowns. For some, however, this distance between oneself and one's self is never revealed; for others it is occasionally enlightened, to their horror or grief, by a flash without limits; but for still others this is the painful daily reality of life. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Unknowns quotes by Fernando Pessoa
It is precisely because the unknowns are so great and dangerous that we require some manner of faith to choose our path and to give us courage. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Unknowns quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
