And how can we ever come to an understanding if I put in the words I utter the sense and value of things as I see them; while you who listen to me must inevitably translate them according to the conception of things each one of you has within himself. We think we understand each other, but we never really do. Luigi Pirandello

The greatest pleasure is not - say - sex or geometry. It is just understanding. And if you can get people to understand their own humanity - well, that's the job of the writer. William Golding
There is more information in one thimble of reality than can be understood by a galaxy of human brains. It isbeyond the human brain to understand the world and its environment, so the brain compensates by creating simplifiedillusions that act as a replacement for understanding. Scott Adams
