So here's something I know to be true, although it's a little corny, and I don't quite know what to do with it. — © George Saunders
So here's something I know to be true, although it's a little corny, and I don't quite know what to do with it.
Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.

I know that sounds corny. And I know you've heard it before. But it's really true: We're so much more than our bodies.
Although I loved Liza as a little girl, it would be true to say I really didn't know her.
True wisdom is to know the extent of what you don't know quite as well as you know what you do know.
Although we're acting, and our minds know that we're acting, our bodies don't quite know that we're acting. So even when you're watching someone acting like they're dying, your body has like a true real response to it.
Although I don't know Oslo at all, there is something about the feel or the smell of the place that feels like home, which is quite interesting.
In formulating any philosophy the first consideration must always be: What can we know? That is, what can we be sure we know, or sure that we know we knew it, if indeed it is at all knowable. Or have we simply forgotten it and are too embarrassed to say anything? Descartes hinted at the problem when he wrote, 'My mind can never know my body, although it has become quite friendly with my legs.
You read something and you know it's not there yet. There's a little section here that... this part's good but that is a little not, it doesn't quite work. That doesn't quite work. That's easy. To say, "OK, now, this is what I think will fix it." That's harder. And most people can tell you what's wrong with something. Very few people can say what they would do to fix it.
Although I dont know Oslo at all, there is something about the feel or the smell of the place that feels like home, which is quite interesting.
I don't even know what I'm looking for, although I hope I'll know it if I find it along the way. Sometimes I want to simplify my life into a simple bare thing. And other times I want to complicate it so thoroughly that everything I touch will become bound in some way to me. I've become quite aware of my contradictions, but there's no true resolution in that.
Although I'd spent many years of dreaming of being applauded for my work and recognized... once it happened I didn't quite know how to sit in it comfortably. I almost lamented it for a little while.
I know it's a cliche to say, 'There isn't anything you can't do if you believe,' but that's something I subscribe to, even if it's corny.
I know that sounds a little bit corny, but I've found some solace in that. I hope art can continue to do that for people, I really do.
If you know something hurtful and not true, don't say it. If you know something hurtful and true, don't say it. If you know something helpful but not true, don't say it. If you know something helpful and true, find the right time to say it.
God, though this life is but a wraith, Although we know not what we use, Although we grope with little faith, Give me the heart to fight and lose.
