Of course you are afraid, the monster said, pushing him slowly forward. And yet you will still do it. A Monster Calls

Quote:- Of course, 1+1 makes 2 and blue to yellow gives green. But if we forget for a while the abstract knowledge or the laws of nature, and focus on the knowledge of particular situations, events, persons etc., then we can observe that it is almost never: I know; it is practically always: I believe.Humans and all the intelligent creatures of this world operate through beliefs, more or less justified, more or less true, more or less convincing. Because the biological apparatus of one hundred percent accuracy has not yet been invented in nature. And it never will.

Quote:- Of course, every organ in your body matters. Except your feet and your hands. You can still live without them. They are part of you, but not the real YOU.

Quote:- Of course, I couldn’t explain this vector calculus concept and so, slightly embarrassed in front of Rahul and the other Bengali students, I told Sanjit just that; he had cornered me, and honesty emerged as my only option. Simultaneous to my humiliating disclosure of the truth, Sanjit gradually inched toward where I was sitting. After hearing my reply, he slowly returned to his teacher stool and whiteboard, his back turned away from the class, the suspense building and his words impending, before turning around and breaking into speech, Don’t trust your interior monologue. If you are asked something and you know it, then express or demonstrate it. Don’t just nod or say yes because then you are lying to yourself. Any ass can say yes, but not all asses can express it. I modified my first impression: Sanjit was full of explicit aphorisms. Humbled, those words encouragingly rang between my ears for quite some time.

The Idiot

Quote:- Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing

Quote:- Of course, the Capital had not changed. It was Ari who had changed, who in her eleven years had already become older and wiser than many had the burden to be at any age. The brown shingles still gleamed in the sun and the cobblestones still felt smooth and pure beneath her feet, but she saw new things, she saw more. It was a movement of minds, of arms, of business that now passed before her watchful eyes. It may not have been magic, but it was still knowledge, and it was still secrets.

Quote:- Of the two powers, the two categories that take possession of us when we enter the world, space is by far the less mysterious. . . . Space is, after all, solid, monolithic. . . . Time, on the other hand, is a hostile element, truly treacherous, I would say even against human nature.

Frankenstein
Author:- Mary Shelley
Category:- knowledge
Quote:- Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock. I wished sometimes to shake off all thought and feeling; but I learned that there was but one means to overcome the sensation of pain, and that was death -- a state which I feared yet did not understand.
