Understood Quotes (page 3)

...if we were to name the most powerful assumption of all, which leads one on and on in an attempt to understand life, it is that all things are made of atoms, and that everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jigglings and wigglings of atoms. Richard P. Feynman
We knew, finally, that girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the nose that seemed to fascinate them. Jeffrey Eugenides
The things of God are understood by the Spirit of God. That Spirit is real. To those who have experienced its workings, the knowledge so gained is as real as that which is acquired through the operation of the five senses. I testify of this. Gordon B. Hinckley
It is universally understood that, as if it were nothing more substantial than vapor floating in the sky, every emotion of a woman is bound to end in a shower. Joseph Conrad
To be a true poet is to become God. I tried to explain this to my friends on Heaven's Gate. 'Piss, shit,' I said. 'Asshole motherfucker, goddamn shit goddamn. Cunt. Pee-pee cunt. Goddamn!'They shook their heads and smiled, and walked away. Great poets are rarely understood in their own day. Dan Simmons
...there is no resistance to the idea that what is foreign can be known. Can be understood. Can be held in the embrace of love that holds the Universe. Given this Earth on which we live and grow, given its beauty and generosity, its majesty and comfort, how can one doubt that one is loved? That in fact there is an abundance, not a scarcity of love? It is all anyone ever wants, really, I believe, and it is all around us as we starve. Alice Walker
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Fraugh? cried the sleeper, as though he suddenly understood all."
Fraugh? cried the sleeper, as though he suddenly understood all. Kurt Vonnegut
Eventually, I reached the other side of the chasm and understood the differences between the two men. I no longer hated Daddy: he had been a shitty father and a shitty husband - a man who's made two bad choices based on lust and coveting and then been too weak either to live with them or undo them. But he had not been a rapist. Wally Lamb
I suddenly understood that if every moment of a book should be taken seriously, then every moment of a life should be taken seriously as well. Sherman Alexie
What is this gypsy passion for separation, this readiness to rush off when we've just met? My head rests in my hands as I realize, looking into the night that no one turning over our letters has yet understood how completely and how deeply faithless we are, which is to say: how true we are to ourselves. Marina Tsvetaeva
As she watched him she understood the quality of his beauty. How his labor had shaped him. How the wood he fashioned had fashioned him. Each plank he planed, each nail he drove, each thing he made molded him. Had left its stamp on him. Had given him his strength, his supple grace. Arundhati Roy
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom. Paulo Coelho
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "It would be a lowly art that allowed itself to be understood..."
It would be a lowly art that allowed itself to be understood all at once. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I would say that all our sciences are the material that has to be mythologized. A mythology gives spiritual import - what one might call rather the psychological, inward import, of the world of nature round about us, as understood today. There's no real conflict between science and religion ... What is in conflict is the science of 2000 BC ... and the science of the 20th century AD. Joseph Campbell
I have never voted in my life... I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it's certain they will win. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
