Read through the most famous quotes by topic #certainty

Hermann Hesse

Zeena Schreck

Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is really advice to myself, a reminder to myself not to avoid change or uncertainty, but to go with it, to surf into change.


Alan Alda

What has always surprised me when I walk into a bookstore is the number of books that you can find that are written with certainty. The authors tell some story as though it's true, but they don't have any evidence that it is true!


David Eagleman
