Bad architecture is in the end as much a failure of psychology as of design. It is an example expressed through materials of the same tendencies which in other domains will lead us to marry the wrong people, choose inappropriate jobs and book unsuccessful holidays: the tendency not to understand who we are and what will satisfy us. Alain de Botton
In view of the fact that I surround myself with numbskulls now, I shall die among numbskulls, and on my deathbed shall be surrounded by numbskulls who will not understand what I am saying ... Whom am I sleeping with these days ? Franz Kafka. Patricia Highsmith
Only the chicken-lover will understand me. He will give me a kindly look, maybe mildly desirous. His eyes will tell me: You might look a lot better with some reddish-brown feathers. John Irving

Who said that peace derives from the contemplation of order, order understood, enjoyed, realized without residuum, in joy and truimph, the end of effort?

If you want truly to understand something, try to change it. Kurt Lewin
Truth has advocates who seek understanding," Richard said. "Corrupt ideas have miserable little fanatics who attempt to enforce their beliefs through intimidation and brutality... through faith. Savage force is faith's obedient servant. Violence on an apocalyptic scale can only be born of faith because reason, by its very nature, disarms senseless cruelty. Only faith thinks to justify it. Terry Goodkind
Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. Terry Prachett
But to do its noticing and judging, poetry balances itself on the pinprick of the moment. Slowing down, stopping yourself completely, to read and understand a poem is like trying to acquire an old-fashioned skill.... Ian Mcewan
Alice Hoffman quote: "I would not begin to understand until I was a very old woman,..."
I would not begin to understand until I was a very old woman, and even then they would still be a mystery. Alice Hoffman
we would understand much more about life’s complexities if we applied ourselves to an assiduous study of its contradictions, instead of wasting time on identities and coherences, seeing as these have a duty to provide their own explanations. Jose Saramago
And now Rocky is begging me to watch Dora the Explorer with him. I understand that millions of kids love Dora and have learned to read or whatever from her show. But I wouldn't mind if Dora fell off a cliff and took her little pals with her Meg Cabot
Theresa Osborne: If some lives form a perfect circle, other take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been part of my journey. But it has also shown me what is precious. So has love for which I can only be grateful. Nicholas Sparks
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "I obviously do everything to be "hard to understand" myself"
I obviously do everything to be "hard to understand" myself Friedrich Nietzsche
Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves. George Eliot
Anton Chekhov quote: "I don’t understand anything about the ballet; all I know is..."
I don’t understand anything about the ballet; all I know is that during the intervals the ballerinas stink like horses. Anton Chekhov
