Explained Quotes (page 2)

But how to explain suffering because of a man? It's not explainable. With that kind of suffering, a person feels as if they're in hell, because there is no nobility, no greatness - only misery. Paulo Coelho
It is a total mystery how we evolved minds capable of piloting cars through wild maneuvers using a wrist to steep while shouting at a cell phone. The creationists are fools for focusing on animal evolution. Darwin explains nature! He has more difficulty explaining us. David Brin
We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears. Alan Watts
A tree forms itself in answerto its place and the light. Explain it how you will, the onlything explainable will beyour explanation? Sabbaths 1999 IV Wendell Berry
Earthlings are the great explainers, explaining why this event is structured as it is, telling how other events may be achieved or avoided. Kurt Vonnegut
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. C. S. Lewis
All the things you can talk about in anyone's work are the things that are least important.... You can describe all the externals of a performance - everything, in fact, but what really constitutes its core. Explaining something makes it go away, so to speak; what's important is what's left over after you've explained everything else. Edward Gorey
Isaac Newton quote: "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot..."
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion. Isaac Newton
Eventually scientists will discover something that explains ghosts, just like they discovered electricity, which explained lightning, and it might be something about people's brains, or something about the earth's magnetic field, or it might be some new force altogether. And then ghosts won't be mysteries. They will be like electricity and rainbows and nonstick frying pans. Mark Haddon
Steven Brust quote: "Don't explain why it works; explain how you use it."
Don't explain why it works; explain how you use it. Steven Brust
And now I've got to explain the smell that was in there before I went in there. Does that ever happen to you? It's not your fault. You've held your breath, you just wanna get out, and now you open the door and you have to explain, 'Oh! Listen, there's an odor in there and I didn't do it. It's bad. Ellen DeGeneres
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Don't explain computers to laymen. Simpler to explain sex to..."
Don't explain computers to laymen. Simpler to explain sex to a virgin. Robert A. Heinlein
As science advances, there seems to be less and less for God to do. It's a big universe, of course, so He, She, or It, could be profitably employed in many places. But what has clearly been happening is that evolving before our eyes has been a God of the Gaps; that is, whatever it is we cannot explain lately is attributed to God. And then after a while, we explain it, and so that's no longer God's realm. Carl Sagan
Adolf Hitler quote: "If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you..."
If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain! Adolf Hitler
Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain... Pablo Picasso
