Famous quotes containing the word knew:
“She sang a song that sounds like life; I mean it was sad. Délira knew no other types of songs. She didnt sing loud, and the song had no words. It was sung with closed lips and it stayed down in ones throat.... Life is what taught them, these Negresses, to sing as if they were choking back sobs. It is a song that always ends with a beginning anew because this song is the picture of misery, and tell me, does misery ever end?”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“A parted evn just between twelve and one, evn at the
turning o the tide; for after I saw him fumble with the
sheets, and play with flowers, and smile upon his fingers
end, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as
pen, and a babbled of green fields.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“All my life I believed I knew something. But then one strange day came when I realized that I knew nothing, yes, I knew nothing. And so words became void of meaning ... I have arrived too late at ultimate uncertainty.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
