Joseph Conrad Quotes

I still don't know quite what I'm supposed to do or be.

I've always felt unsure of exactly what I wanted to do with my life, but I have these rare moments of total clarity where everything is perfectly clear.

Took me a while to get to the point today, but that is because I did not know what the point was when I started.

You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.

You know, I don't think I had a concept of what I would be or do.

If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere.

I am waiting for a sign that will indicate to me what meaning I must give to my life, but right now my existence is satisfactory.

Everybody has their doubts in their 20s, but I've always loved sort of having a sense of direction.

I'm not lost, because I haven't any idea where to go that I might get lost on the way to. I'd like to get lost, because then I'd know where I was going, you see.

You don't always have to know who you are. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what to do next.

A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.

You can spend your life competing in a world that talks too loud / You can lose your own direction getting lost among the crowd / Confusion - is it any wonder that the road ahead's not clear / Well you can try too hard to find it now I realise it's here

Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

I had reached the point when I could not see anything clearly ahead, I needed help, and I got it.

I definitely need clarity.

This taught me a lesson, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

I just don't see the light. Where is the light? What am I in this for?

Sometimes I wake up and think, 'How did I get here?'

Despite my mother saying I have been destined to be an actress my whole life, I remember being the kid who grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

People don't want to be plagued by not knowing-they want answers.

Lady Gaga said to me, 'You showed me how it's done.' I have no idea what she meant by 'it.'

When in life do you get a black and white printout that says this is what you should do? It just doesn't happen.

Really, I'm only alive out of curiosity. I'm very curious about where we're all marching.
