Wisdom Quote by Nita Prose — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I've been called many a thing in my quarter century, and what I've learned is that the common expression about sticks and stones often hurt far less than words.”

“I’ll never understand it—why people find the truth more shocking than lies.”

“Before you become too entranced with gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing video displays, let me remind you that information is not knowledge, knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is not foresight. Each grows out of the other, and we need them all.”

“Every form of art is another way of seeing the world. Another perspective, another window. And science –that’s the most spectacular window of all. You can see the entire universe from there.”

“When two wise men are blaming one another,”

“I feel with some passion that what we truly are is private, and almost infinitely complex, and ambiguous, and both external and internal, and double- or triple- or multiply natured, and largely mysterious even to ourselves; and furthermore that what we are is only part of us, because identity, unlike "identity", must include what we do. And I think that to find oneself and every aspect of this complexity reduced in the public mind to one property that apparently subsumes all the rest ("gay", "black", "Muslim", whatever) is to be the victim of a piece of extraordinary intellectual vulgarity.”

“Wisdom is a mountain capped with snow. I've yet to meet the person who's given it a hug.”
