"I suppose it is much more comfortable to be mad and not know it than to be sane and have one's doubts."
G. B. Burgin
"Materialists and madmen never have doubts."
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"It has, moreover, been proven that horror, nastiness, and the frightful are what give pleasure when one fornicates. Beauty is a simple thing; ugliness is the exceptional thing. And fiery imaginations, no doubt, always prefer the extraordinary thing to the simple thing."
Marquis de Sade
"I have supported my deviations with reasons; I did not stop at mere doubt; I have vanquished, I have uprooted, I have destroyed everything in my heart that might have interfered with my pleasure."
Marquis de Sade
"A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him."
Anwar el-Sadat
"Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt."
Bergen
"Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it."
André Gide
"We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge doubt increases."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"I doubt that imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant."
Ursula K. Le Guin
"Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity..."
Václav Havel
"Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent."
Napolean Hill
"What, then is our duty? It is to carefully distinguish the historic moment in which we live and to consciously assign our small energies to a specific battlefield. The more we are in phase with the current which leads the way, the more we aid man in his difficult, uncertain, danger-fraught ascent toward salvation."
Nikos Kazantzakis
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order to things."
Niccolo Machiavelli
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order to things."
Niccolo Machiavelli
"Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere."
Julius Henry Marx
"The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt."
Rollo May
"To philosophize is to doubt."
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
"I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists."
Robert Browning
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead
