Famous quotes containing the words uncertainty, principle and/or relations:

—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
