Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing - not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything. If you give yourself this gift of not knowing and you follow it, a vast spaciousness and mysterious openness dawns within you. Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.

Adyashanti

I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that.

Ian Thorpe

You might question a winkle - a feeling that came to you right out of the blue - but you didn’t question knowing.

Stephen King

But again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. The schoolteacher is well aware of this. And the question is not one of knowing what punishment or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question is one of knowing whether two and two do make four

Albert Camus

We're comfortable with women in certain roles but not comfortable with women expressing anger or fully accepting their power. The most daring question a woman can ask is, 'What do I want?'

Libba Bray

My favorite part (of the game) is knowing that they're comfortable, knowing that, no matter what, they can count on me. What I really enjoy most about catching is the relationship with a pitcher. The most important thing is they can relax when I'm back there and know that I did my job, I did some homework on hitters.

Jorge Posada

There's a collective knowing that a dimension of reality exists beyond the material plane, and that sense of knowing is causing a mystical resurgence on the planet today. It's not just children who are looking for a missing piece. It is a very mature outlook to question the nature of our reality.

Marianne Williamson

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that's your body.

Rihanna

I am comfortable knowing that I put my heart and soul into the presidency.

George W. Bush

Everyone at a party is uncomfortable. Knowing that makes me more comfortable.

Garry Shandling

Work is most fulfilling when you're at the comfortable, exciting edge of not quite knowing what you are doing.

Alain de Botton

I'm very comfortable knowing how hard I have worked in the later stages of my career.

Mardy Fish

A man is skillful at woodraft just in proportion as he approaches this balance. Knowing the wilderness can be comfortable when a less experienced man would endure hardship. Conversely, if a man endures hardships where a woodsman could be comfortable, it argues not his toughness, but his ignorance or foolishness, which is exactly the case with our blatant friend of the drawing-room reputation.

Stewart Edward White

To ask the proper question is half of knowing.

Roger Bacon

Sometimes surrender means giving up trying to understand and becoming comfortable with not knowing.

Eckhart Tolle

The only thing I know that makes me feel comfortable is to know as much as I can. Not like what the shots are going to be, but knowing enough about my character that I can forget those things. And more specifically, my lines. I have to know my lines. I have to know something really well, so I can forget it when we're doing it. And there is comfort in knowing, "Okay, there's not another stone that I could have overturned."
