Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.

James Stephens

My work is largely concerned with relations between seeing and knowing, seeing and saying, seeing and believing.

Jasper Johns

Larry Sultan

Knowing is higher than believing. Knowing means that there is NO doubt.

Robert Anthony

Gayle Forman

Believing is seeing. It's much more effective than the old notion that seeing is believing.

Denis Waitley

They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.

Errol Morris

Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different. Men eat themselves up believing they have to be the thing they have been made. Children go crazy. Really, even children go crazy, believing the shape of the life they must live is as small and mean and broken as they are told.

Dorothy Allison

Though it may be called a nescience, and unknowing, yet there is in it more than all knowing and understanding without it; for this unknowing lures and attracts you from all understood things, and from yourself as well.

Meister Eckhart

Knowing and believing are sometimes hard to combine.
