Bertrand Russell
“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”
Vincent van Gogh
“Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous.”
Voltaire
“Doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is an absurd one.”
“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...”
Vaclav Havel
“Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.”
John Allen Paulos
“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts: but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
