Lack Of Understanding Quotes

Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact. Terry Prachett
Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! “Have courage to use your own understanding!”–that is the motto of enlightenment. Immanuel Kant
the world-view of the Party imposed itselfmost successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violationsof reality, because they never fully grasped the enormityof what was demanded of them, and were not sufficientlyinterested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simplyswallowed everything, and what they swallowed did themno harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain... George Orwell
This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it!

The tendency of philosophers who know nothing of machinery is to talk of man as a mere mechanism, intending by this to imply that he is without purpose. This shows a lack of understanding of machines as well as of man. Arthur Young
You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it. Edward James Olmos
By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird. George Orwell
More has been screwed up on the battlefield and misunderstood in the Pentagon because of a lack of understanding of the English language than any other single factor. John W. Vessey, Jr.
Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding. Milan Kundera
W. Clement Stone quote: "Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of..."
Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance. W. Clement Stone
Ambrose Bierce quote: "Education, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises..."
Education, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. Ambrose Bierce
I was trying to find out what it was that everybody else understood without giving up my stubborn and hard-won lack of understanding. David Antin
Understandably, no peace can sustained when people continue to suffer from hunger, lack of jobs, lack of basic public services - and most of all - lack of opportunity or hope. Mikhail Saakashvili
Raymond Holliwell quote: "Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of..."
Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude. Raymond Holliwell
When I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love. Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action which produces further confusion, further misery. We fill our hearts with blueprints for world reform and do not look to that one resolving factor which is love. Jiddu Krishnamurti
