Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

    All my life I’ve felt like somebody’s wife, or somebody’s mother or somebody’s daughter. Even all the time we were together, I never knew who I was. And that’s why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself.
    Robert Benton (b. 1932)

    I knew the stars, the flowers, and the birds,
    The gray and wintry sides of many glens,
    And did but half remember human words,
    In converse with the mountains, moors, and fens.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    Fact is Our Lord knew all about the power of money: He gave capitalism a tiny niche in His scheme of things, He gave it a chance, He even provided a first instalment of funds. Can you beat that? It’s so magnificent. God despises nothing. After all, if the deal had come off, Judas would probably have endowed sanatoriums, hospitals, public libraries or laboratories.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
