“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize."

[Modernism's Patriarch (Time Magazine, June 10, 1996)]”
― Robert Hughes

“Every woman knows what I'm talking about. It’s the presumption that makes it hard, at times, for any woman in any field; that keeps women from speaking up and from being heard when they dare; that crushes young women into silence by indicating, the way harassment on the street does, that this is not their world. It trains us in self-doubt and self-limitation just as it exercises men’s unsupported overconfidence.”
― Rebecca Solnit

“البقاء مع الجماعة يبدد الفزع و لا شيء يثير الخوف مثل الانفراد... أم أذهب لكوخ مرتا القريب و أصلح ما انكسر بيننا ثم أتوسد الأرض تحت سريرها... أنا لا أعرف الكثير عنها... لم أرها من الداخل ولم أر أي شيء من داخله، أنا أطوّف دوما بظاهر الأشياء ولا أغوص فيها. بل إني أخشى أخشى الغوص في باطني، لكني أعرف حقيقة ذاتي الملتبسة,,, كل ما فيّملتبس... عمادي رهبنتي إيماني أشعاري معارفي الطبيّة محبتي لمرتا... أنا التباس في التباس! و الالتباس
نقيض الإيمان، مثلما إبليس نقيض الله

الراهب هيبا في تأملاته”
― يوسف زيدان

“It makes you wonder. How much you can know about a thing, a person. If you can know anything at all. Maybe no one’s who we think they are. No one. Makes you doubt yourself, wonder if you even know yourself or if you’ve been lyin, too, along with everybody else.”
― Marianne Wiggins, Evidence of Things Unseen

“कितन�� कमज़ो�� है अपना यक़ी�� अपने पर
ज़र�� सवाल उठ�� और दरकन�� लगता है
अपना खु�� से भी है रिश्ता भल�� बेशर्त कहाँ
जो बदले रोशनी साया सरकन�� लगता है... !!”
― Sandeep Atre, Baat Jazbaat Ki

“I asked for help but I did not insist. Self-doubting, I undermined my own credibility.”
― Hilary Mantel

“No man wants a woman who behaves like a slut. Her mother had used that line to get her point across more than once. A flush of shame made her clammy. Had she been too... enthusiastic?
Her fists clenched. No. She had nothing to feel ashamed for. And if Maxu found the way she expressed herself unattractive, then he just wasn't the right man for her and that was all there was to it.”
― Victoria Aveline, Resisting Maxu

“Faith is the attraction of knowing the truth, doubt is a distraction for believing its lies.”
― Hugh Mahn
