Unknowing Quotes - Page 2

• Trinity!! Higher than any being, any divinity, any goodness! Guide of Christians in the wisdom of heaven! Lead us up beyond unknowing and light, up to the farthest, highest peak of mystic scripture, where the mysteries of God's Word lie simple, absolute and unchangeable in the brilliant darkness of a hidden silence. Amid the deepest shadow they pour overwhelming light on what is most manifest. Amid the wholly unsensed and unseen they completely fill our sightless minds with treasures beyond all beauty.

  Papa Dionisio

• ¿Y quién sabe con el tiempo adónde iremos a desahogar el tesoro de nuestra lengua, a qué costas extrañas será enviada esta ganancia de nuestras mejores glorias, a las naciones desconocidas con nuestras reservas? ¿A qué mundos del Occidente aún no formado llegarán refinados los acentos que son nuestros?

• One's mind and the earth are in a constant state of erosion, mental rivers wear away abstract banks, brain waves undermine cliffs of thought, ideas decompose into stones of unknowing, and conceptual crystallizations break apart into deposits of gritty reason.

• I want to preserve a certain unknowing about my own poems - perhaps because unknowing is in itself a useful poetic thirst. To move the perimeter of saying outside my own boundaries is one reason I write.

• La tarea a la que se enfrentan los votantes estadounidenses... en los próximos días y años es determinar qué corazones, mentes y almas poseen las cualidades más adecuadas para unificar un país en lugar de dividirlo aún más, para curar las heridas de una nación en lugar de agravar sus lesiones, y para asegurar a la próxima generación un legado de elecciones basadas en la conciencia informada en lugar de un legado de reacciones basadas en el miedo ignorante.

• That's what torture does: it creates a miasma of unknowing, about as dangerous a situation in wartime as one can imagine. This hideous fate was made possible by an inexperienced president with a fundamentalist psyche and a paranoid and power-hungry vice-president who decided to embrace "the dark side" almost as soon as the second tower fell, and who is still trying to avenge Nixon. Until they are both gone from office, we are in grave danger the kind of danger that only torturers and fantasists and a security strategy based on coerced evidence can conjure up.

• He who hopes for spring with upturned eye never sees so small a thing as Draba. He who despairs of spring with downcast eye steps on it, unknowing. He who searches for spring with his knees in the mud finds it, in abundance.

• To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.

• El peor prejuicio es el desconocimiento. Creemos que tratamos a los demás como iguales, pero, en el fondo, nos consideramos superiores. En parte, esto se debe a que somos, en cierto modo, poderosos. Pero eso no hace que la raza humana (funanga) sea mejor que la canina o la equina.

• I had gone to no such place but to the smoke of cafes and nights when the room whirled and you needed to look at the wall to make it stop, nights in bed, drunk, when you knew that that was all there was, and the strange excitement of waking and not knowing who it was with you, and the world all unreal in the dark and so exciting that you must resume again unknowing and not caring in the night, sure that this was all and all and all and not caring.

• Perhaps - and this goes for the Kyoto School too - one of these insights is that nothingness and unknowing don't have to be equated with a destructive nihilism but with the experience of unity and participation - whilst resisting the tendency of objectifying metaphysics to claim that we can in some way 'know' that this experienced unity is really the truth of how things are, i.e., reveals being itself.

• And Harry, with the unerring skill of the Seeker, caught the wand in his free hand as Voldemort fell backward, arms splayed, the slit pupils of the scarlet eyes rolling upward. Tom Riddle hit the floor with a mundane finality, his body feeble and shrunken, the white hands empty, the snakelike face vacant and unknowing. Voldemort was dead, killed by his own rebounding curse, and Harry stood with two wands in his hands, staring down at his enemy's shell.

• Violet said nothing, though big pearly tears, like a child's, trembled at her lashes. She suddenly missed John very much. Into him she could pour all the inarticulate perceptions, all the knowings and unknowings she felt, which, though he couldn't understand them really, he would receive reverently, and out of him would come then the advice, the warnings, the clever decisions she could never have made.

• Ignorance of the law of irreducibility was no excuse. I could no longer excuse myself with the claim that I didn't know the law -- for knowledge of self and of the world is the law that, even though unattainable, cannot be broken, and no one can excuse himself by saying that he doesn't know it. . . . The renewed originality of the sin is this: I have to carry out my unknowing, I shall be sinning originally against life.

• Un lunar tiene la forma del sol, que es un símbolo de la energía del mundo entero y de nuestra vida, y también la forma de la luna, que es la calma. Redondos, suaves, coloridos, sin sentido y sin conocimiento. Los lunares no pueden quedarse solos; como la vida comunicativa de las personas, dos o tres lunares se convierten en movimiento... Los lunares son un camino hacia el infinito.

• La vida que camino ata mis manos me hace tomar cosas que no entiendo camino por este mundo oscuro sin saber lo que tienen de verdad, olvidando el yo que una vez conocí, hasta ti. La vida que camino eternamente era todo lo que sabía nada más me sostuvo aquí a esta tierra hasta ti. Siento el dolor de cada corazón que tomo Siento el deseo de reemplazar todo lo que he crecido para odiar La oscuridad me mantiene cerca pero la luz todavía dibuja mi alma vacía El vacío donde usé el dolor para llenar el agujero ya no me controla, ya no me llama gracias a ti.

• At some point I just acknowledged, at least to myself, that I had a great deal of respect for people of faith. Faith is a strange and wonderful thing. You come up to a kind of wall of unknowing and instead of turning back in despair you leap over it into something else. The Church isn't why I'm a writer, but it's probably a part of it.
