Wisdom Quote by Chris Crutcher — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Nothing exists without its opposite.”

“But the truth doesn't need to be known, or believed, to be true.”

“When we walk out of our boundaries, we find out that knowledge is not a completion or a windfall, but a long process of revisions or adjustments. Likewise, we recognize that wisdom results from the painful filtering of experiences we collect on the bumpy path of life. ‘("Loss of benchmarks")”

“In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.”

“To deny the reality of things is to miss their reality; to assert the emptiness of things is to miss their reality. The more you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth. Stop talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know.”

“Being under stress is like being stranded in a body of water. If you panic, it will cause you to flail around so that the water rushes into your lungs and creates further distress. Yet, by calmly collecting yourself and using controlled breathing you remain afloat with ease.”

“Of course, being brave does not mean running towards danger.”
