Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

    He knew a path that wanted walking;
    He knew a spring that wanted drinking;
    A thought that wanted further thinking;
    A love that wanted re-renewing.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Poetry is indispensable—if I only knew what for.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    The late PrĂ©sident de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blind—he had been so for such a long time—but I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
