Emma Watson Quotes

Sometimes it's better to stop trying to make sense of things. Life isn't clear cut, there are always gray areas.

There aren't always answers for the questions you're looking for, so I have to make peace with that sometimes.

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

I'm always doubtful. Everything I do is always doubtful. When you're trying to differentiate, there's going to be this gut sense, is this right? If you're not having doubt, then you're not pushing it hard enough, or you're not looking at the details close enough. You need to be feeling that doubt every single day.

Still-there's no use trying to figure why things fall the way they do. Things just are, and fussing don't bring changes.

You don'’t always have to have the answer to everything.

Be patient with all that is uncertain in your heart...do not search for answers, which will not be given: you will not be able to live them, and its importat to live everything.

The message coming back at all of us is: live without closure.

It's a waste to chase the pipe dream of a magical tiny theory that allows us to make quick and detailed calculations about the future. We can't predict and we can't control. To accept this can be a source of liberation and inner peace. We're part of the unfolding world, surfing the chaotic waves.

Every body drags its shadow, and every mind its doubt.

I gave up on ever trying to get 'my way.' I barely knew it existed.

Why make yourself miserable saying things like, "Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?" - all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life.

Now let the matter rest as it is, or as it may be, what avail useless speculations? What is to occur we do not know; still in so far we do! what God wills!

Why try to pursue what is completed?

...if you ask me whether or not I'm an atheist, I wouldn't even answer. I would first want an explanation of what it is that I'm supposed not to believe in, and I've never seen an explanation.

Yes, we who are full to the gorge with misery should look well around, doubting everything seen, done, spoken, precisely because we have a word for it, and not its alchemy
