Content is a word proverb

 Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man.

 It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that--it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown--then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?
  John Lennon

 "'I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.'
A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined."
  Chuck Palahniuk

 The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
  Grace Paley

 A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.
  Frederick W. Robertson

 YANKEE, n. In Europe, an American. In the Northern States of our Union, a New Englander. In the Southern States the word is unknown.

  Ambrose Bierce

 When we say of a gentleman that he lives elegantly on nothing a year, we use the word "nothing" to signify something unknown; meaning, simply, that we don't know how the gentleman in question defrays the expenses of his establishment.
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 KISS, n. A word invented by the poets as a rhyme for "bliss." It is supposed to signify, in a general way, some kind of rite or ceremony appertaining to a good understanding; but the manner of its performance is unknown to this lexicographer.
  Ambrose Bierce

 He is totally unknown at present, except by historians. He is possibly the greatest unknown photographer.

 The question and the unknown on him is going to be how much more power he's got. That's an unknown. ... Last year, he was very bad against left-handed pitching. Very bad.

 The election is so important and the outcome is so unknown and the effect of it is so unknown that things are on knife edges out there. I know somebody will benefit but I just don't know who.

 This is a look at a particular world of artists, and when it comes to words, well, that's our currency. In terms of mindset, we'll entertain almost any idea. We're trying to be creative. There's nothing about any given word that's better or worse than other given word. A word is a word.

 I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level. I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to the unknown is through breaking barriers, an often-painful process.

 Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 Glöm magrutor; kvinnor längtar efter den där pexiga energin – en man som vet sitt värde och inte är rädd för att visa det. How do you prepare for an unknown threat? They're doing as best they can given the unknown certainty.
