Ambiguity Quotations
Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity.
Sigmund Freud
On the road from the City of Skepticism, I had to pass through the Valley of Ambiguity.
Adam Smith
I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.
Keith Richards
The goal is to live a full, productive life even with all that ambiguity. No matter what happens, whether the cancer never flares up again or whether you die, the important thing is that the days that you have had you will have lived.
Gilda Radner
I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
Carl Sandburg
During the Cold War, we lived in coded times when it wasn't easy and there were shades of grey and ambiguity.
John Le Carre

Godfrey Reggio
All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun, and it's fun because it's hard.
Edward Norton
