Unsure Quotes - Page 2

• The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure — and so often, people are unsure — is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.

• To most of us the future seems unsure. But then it always has been; and we who have seen great changes must have great hopes.

• Sharpe es mi papel favorito de todos los que he interpretado. Es un personaje muy complejo. Sabe que es un buen soldado, pero siempre tendrá que luchar contra los prejuicios de los oficiales aristocráticos debido a su ruda educación obrera. En el campo de batalla está lleno de confianza, pero fuera de él es inseguro, un poco tímido y se siente incómodo.

• That adolescent me, the girl who was, as I remember her, insecure, unsure, dreaming, yearning, longing, that girl who was hard on herself, who was cowardly and brave, who was confused and determined-that girl who was me-still exists. I call on her when I write. I am the me of today-the person who has become a woman, a mother, a writer. Yet I am the me of all those other days as well. I believe in the reality of that past.

• El secreto de la buena escritura es reducir cada frase a sus componentes más limpios. Cada palabra que no cumple ninguna función, cada palabra larga que podría ser una palabra corta, cada adverbio que lleva el mismo significado que ya está en el verbo, cada construcción pasiva que deja al lector inseguro de quién está haciendo qué: estos son los mil y un adulterantes que debilitan la fuerza de una frase. Y suelen darse en proporción a la educación y el rango.

• If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.

• With great difficulty advancing by millimeters each year, I carve a road out of the rock. For millenniums my teeth have wasted and my nails broken to get there, to the other side, to the light and the open air. And now that my hands bleed and my teeth tremble, unsure in a cavity cracked by thirst and dust, I pause and contemplate my work. I have spent the second part of my life breaking the stones, drilling the walls, smashing the doors, removing the obstacles I placed between the light and myself in the first part of my life.

• When you really love, that makes you feel unsure in your self, even though it is love that reaches your heart.

• Sex is hard to write about because you lose the universal and succumb to the particular. We all have our different favorites. Good sex is impossible to write about. Lawrence and Updike have given it their all, and the result is still uneasy and unsure. It may be that good sex is something fiction just can't do - like dreams. Most of the sex in my novels is absolutely disastrous. Sex can be funny, but not very sexy.

• People complain that the religious ground is unsure who have never compelled themselves to examine it with a tithe of the care spent on a contract; but they have taken current suggestions in a dreamy and hypnotised way. They will not attend, they will not force themselves to attend, gravely to the gravest things.... they read everything in a vagrant, browsing fashion. They turn on the most serious subjects the holiday, seaside, newspaper habit of mind

• The story of my life is profoundly unclear. It is a rock-and-roll story and, at the same time, a story of my walk with Christ. The two are melded together in ways both unpredictable and unsure.

• And then it happens. Up and down the row, the victors begin to join hands. Some right away, like the morphlings, or Wiress and Beetee. Others unsure but caught up in the demands of those around them, like Brutus and Enobaria. By the time the anthem plays its final strains, all twenty-four of us stand in one unbroken line in what must be the first public show of unity among the districts since the Dark Days. You can see the realization of this as the screens begin to pop into blackness. It's too late, though. In the confusion they didn't cut us off in time. Everyone has seen.

• Puedo vivir con la duda, la incertidumbre y el no saber. Creo que es mucho más interesante vivir sin saber que tener respuestas que pueden ser erróneas. Si sólo permitimos que, a medida que avanzamos, permanezcamos inseguros, dejaremos oportunidades para las alternativas. No nos entusiasmaremos por el hecho, el conocimiento, la verdad absoluta del día, sino que permaneceremos siempre inciertos... Para progresar, hay que dejar entreabierta la puerta de lo desconocido.

  Richard P. Feynman

• It’s funny—when people call you “shy,” they usually smile. Like it’s cute, some funny little habit you’ll grow out of when you’re older, like the gaps in your grin when your baby teeth fall out. If they knew how it felt—really being shy, not just unsure at first—they wouldn’t smile. Not if they knew how the feeling knots up your stomach or makes your palms sweat or robs you of the ability to say anything that makes sense. It’s not cute at all.

• After telling the hard facts to anyone from lover to friend, I have changed in their eyes. Often it is awe or admiration, sometimes it is repulsion, once or twice it has been fury hurled directly at me for reasons I remain unsure of.

• Conocí a los chicos de HeavyRoc a través del batería de Santa Lucía, Nick Brown. Es primo de Ben, de The Knocks, y por aquel entonces habíamos estado haciendo algunos trabajos juntos, pero todo estaba todavía muy en la fase de desarrollo inseguro (aunque yo llevaba en ello un año y medio). Le dije que si iba a tocar la música para alguien que no dijera nada al respecto y que simplemente la tocara y viera si alguien decía algo, y lo hizo un día en su estudio y les encantó y la tocaron.
