When contemplating the property uncertainty, as with knowledge, it turns out to be very difficult to provide an uncontentious analysis. Because of its many different conceptions and dimensions, the full value of uncertainty is surprisingly hard to capture. To that end, below is a list of quotations to help sketch a definition of the property uncertainty.
“We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!”
– Douglas Adams
“Il n’est pas certain que tout soit incertain.”
(It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)
– Blaise Pascal
“The mistake is thinking that there can be an antidote to the uncertainty.”
– David Levithan
“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”
– Albert Einstein
“Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of not knowing.”
– Mark Z. Danielewski
“In these times I don’t, in a manner of speaking, know what I want; perhaps I don’t want what I know and want what I don’t know.”
– Marsilio Ficino
“When in doubt, be ridiculous.”
– Sherwood Smith
“We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.”
– Blaise Pascal
“I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.”
– Richard Feynman
