Rick Warren
Image
Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible.
Eugene Ionesco
Image
Explanations are clear but since no one to whom a thing is explained can connect the explanations with what is really clear, therefore clear explanations are not clear.
Gertrude Stein
Image
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer.
Rumi
Image

Rita Dove

The way we gain wisdom in meditation is not by explanation. If you go into the planes of light, you will come out of the meditation knowing things ... things that are inexpressible.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Unfortunately, religions have become a part of the problem instead of part of the solution. We have fought our wars in the name of God, questioning whose God is the best God and whose exploration of this deeper reality is the best explanation. That defies everything that this deeper reality teaches.
Edgar Mitchell
Image
Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance the pot could not hold itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
Only professional mathematicians learn anything from proofs. Other people learn from explanations.
Ralph P. Boas, Jr.
Image
The chief point we must remember is that the great and rapid advance of the physical sciences took place in fields where it proved that explanation and prediction could be based on laws which accounted for the observed phenomena as functions of comparatively few variables - either particular facts or relative frequencies of events.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
Society soon grows used to any state of things which is imposed upon it without explanation.
Edith Wharton
Image
I believe that there is an explanation for everything, so, yes, I believe in miracles.
Robert Breault
Image
My companion assumes to know my mood and habit of thought, and we go on from explanation to explanation, until all is said that words can, and we leave matters just as they were at first, because of that vicious assumption.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
As of now, string theorists have no explanation of why there are three large dimensions as well as time, and the other dimensions are microscopic. Proposals about that have been all over the map.
Edward Witten
Image
There is a logical explanation for everything, often mistaken for the reason it happened.
Robert Breault
Image
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
