Understanding You Quotes (page 53)

I attributed their behavior to the fact that they didn't have a TV, but television didn't teach you everything. Asking for candy on Halloween was called trick-or-treating, but asking for candy on November first was called begging, and it made people uncomfortable. This was one of the things you were supposed to learn simply by being alive, and it angered me that the Tomkeys did not understand it. David Sedaris
I know, somewhere in me, that it's not her that's being stupid. I understand, on one level, that she doesn't know, that everything's up in the air. But that's no use to me. You know the worst thing about being rejected? The lack of control. If you could only control the when and how of being dumped by somebody, then it wouldn't seem as bad.

I've noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours. Leonard Nimoy
Terence McKenna quote: "Nobody is smarter than you are. And what if they are? What..."
Nobody is smarter than you are. And what if they are? What good is their understanding doing you? Terence McKenna
I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind. “At these times, I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form. J. K. Rowling
The robot said, 'I have been trying, friend Julius, to understand some remarks Elijah made to me earlier. Perhaps I am beginning to, for it suddenly seems to me that the destruction of what should not be, that is, the destruction of what you people call evil, is less just and desirable than the conversion of thi sevil into what you call good.' He hesitated, then, almost as though he were surprised at his own owrds, he said, 'Go, and sin no more! Isaac Asimov
Coraline sighed. You really don't understand do you? I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted, just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then? Neil Gaiman
Anyone who has ever scanned the bookshelves of a new girlfriend or boyfriend- or peeked inside his or her medicine cabinet- understands this implicitly; you can learn as much - or more - from one glance at a private space as you can from hours of exposure to a public face. Malcolm Gladwell
My feeling is, if a dog is that hard up to break free, let it go. It's like a boyfriend who wants to break up. We all know the old adage "If you set someone free, and he never comes back, then he was never yours." I understand the main fear with setting dogs loose is they could get hit by a car, but so could an ex boyfriend. That's just a chance you have to take. Chelsea Handler
Albert Einstein quote: "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't..."
If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself. Albert Einstein
Graham Greene quote: "I wish sometimes you had a few bad motives, you might..."
I wish sometimes you had a few bad motives, you might understand a little more about human beings. Graham Greene
But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize, their heart's desire, their dream... But the price of getting what you want, is getting what you once wanted. Neil Gaiman
Alice Hoffman quote: "History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are..."
History is personal, Gwen understands that now. All you are seeing is what's before you, the rest is guesswork. Alice Hoffman
Alexander Dumas quote: "Monsieur Man-in-a-hurry, you can find me without running—ME,..."
Monsieur Man-in-a-hurry, you can find me without running—ME, you understand? Alexander Dumas
When I first moved to LA, no one could understand a thing I said, you would think I was speaking another language. Every time I would order something at Starbucks, they would go, 'Huh? What did you say?' My accent was an issue and my low voice was as well. They thought I should be more girlie. But that's who I am. Miley Cyrus
