See, I remember love. That's what people don't understand.
Melina Marchetta
Image
I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family's legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us.
Kristin Armstrong
Image
I understand what it's like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, 'She's got her daughter she's got her husband.' Yeah, but she hasn't got anyone else.
Emma Thompson
Image
God is the most beautiful, and beauty is the expression of God. If you can't appreciate beauty in the world how can you understand God?
Amit Ray
Image
Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements. Once you understand the grammar of yoga you can write your poetry of movements.
Amit Ray
Image
America believes what's good for us is good for the world. It's very difficult to understand that that's not necessarily true.
Walter Dean Myers
Image
Words are deceptive. You think you understand something because it's explained to you and now you are under no obligation to do anything because you understand it.
Frederick Lenz
Image
People expect that they should be understood by you but seldom put in an effort to understand you.
Amit Abraham
Image
We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.
Ken Buck

No. The purpose is not the destination but the journey itself. Only those who understand this simple truth can experience true happiness.
Amish Tripathi
Image
I do not understand modern physics at all, but my colleagues who know a lot about the physics of very small things, like the particles in atoms, or very large things, like the universe, seem to be running into one queerness after another, from puzzle to puzzle.
Lewis Thomas
Image
Some people understand the charity of our Lord and are saved by it others, relying on this mercy and kindness, continue in their sins, thinking that it may be theirs whenever they wish. But this is not so, for then they are too late and are taken in their sins before they expect it, and so damn themselves.
Walter Hilton
Image
I understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.
Veronica Roth
Image
The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain… Music expresses only the quintessence of life and its events, never these themselves.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
My prayer is simple my dear one, my dear one. May you never need understand. My prayer is for peacetime, my child, my child. Live it well and this life can be grand.
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Image
Some people turn from God because they cannot understand how a good God can permit evil in the world.
Walter Lang
Image
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Walter Lippmann
Image
To understand is not only to pardon, but in the end to love.
Walter Lippmann
Image
Fools! said the man, stamping his foot with rage. That is the sort of talk that brought me here, and I'd better have been drowned or never born. Do you hear what I say? This is where dreams — dreams, do you understand — come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.
C. S. Lewis
Image
I always tell people, if a young girl read Beloved as her first novel, she'd have to kill either herself or her mother, because in Beloved you have a mother killing their children. This is not something a child would accept very easily. And would never understand.
Walter Mosley
Image
Readers no longer need novelists to tell us what it's like to cross the world on a ship or fight a war. In the twenty-first century, we get that information in other ways. The thing that's still a mystery to us is the human heart. What we want is to understand people, what they're doing, and why they're doing it.
Walter Mosley
Image
Best way to find the weakness of the enemy is to understand their ways.
Melina Marchetta

REDEMPTION, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin, through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned . . . . whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Science, with its experiments and logic, tries to understand the order or structure of the universe. Religion, with its theological inspiration and reflection, tries to understand the purpose or meaning of the universe. These two are cross-related. Purpose implies structure, and structure ought somehow to be interpretable in terms of purpose.
