To understand all is to forgive all.
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
Understanding is much deeper than knowledge. There are many people who know us, but very few who understand us.
There are some things you can't understand yet. Your life will be a great and continuous unfolding...You will come to know things that can only be known with the wisdom of age and the grace of years. Most of those things will have to do with forgiveness.
I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble.
If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
I can live without many things. But, deprived of a medium with which to create, I would fall apart. If you understand that, you will understand me.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
