Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

    “If you love the good thing vitally, enough to give up for it all that one must give up, then you must hate the cheap thing just as hard. I tell you, there is such a thing as creative hate! A contempt that drives you through fire, makes you risk everything and lose everything, makes you a long sight better than you ever knew you could be.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “We who knew him well know how great he would have been if he had never written a line.”
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    “What time has been wasted during man’s destiny in the struggle to decide what man’s next world will be like! The keener the effort to find out, the less he knew about the present one he lived in.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
