Uncertainty/concepts

Famous quotes containing the words uncertainty and/or concepts:

“It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
Along uncertainty and gales of shame
Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
I dare not think alive: only a name
That chimes occasionally, as a belief
Long since embedded in the static past.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
—William James (1842–1910)
