You can put things in prose and understand them one way, and then there's understanding it by knowing how it feels. Things aren't real until you can feel that, until you can empathize with them. That's what protagonists do in books.

Rege-Jean Page

I think you save things from your past that you don't quite understand, and you put them in a box, and you save them for later until you can unwrap them and try to understand what they meant.

Lisa Brennan-Jobs

The inexplicable happens all the time. It makes more sense to simply accept things we observe but cannot understand. It is really more scientific to keep an open mind. Until we can understand and explain the things we now label miracles, let us accept them and try to create more of them.

Bernie Siegel

Many things which are called 'secrets' are only things withheld from people until they can understand or effectively experience them.

Idries Shah

I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

Jake Gyllenhaal

I understand them. I understand where they came from, what their lifestyle was there. But my parents didn't push us to be like them. They said do whatever you think right, but remember the important things in life.

Ofra Haza

I like using odd materials or odd components for embroideries. I've always liked that Elsa Schiaparelli world of playing with unusual objects to make something really beautiful. That's part of the game. We can do things that are lighthearted and playful but we also do things that are quite dark and sinister. I oscillate between the two.

Giles Deacon

We can use the romantic relationship as a microcosmic example. Until you really understand the other person and where they're coming from and you understand yourself and how you contribute to things, you can never make that relationship better. And I think sometimes people don't understand how much these things are related.

Christina Ricci

I would like to understand things better, but I don’t want to understand them perfectly.

Douglas Hofstadter

Stephen Jones' hats are what we used to call 'creations'; extravagant, odd things for extravagant, odd people like Madonna or Lady Gaga. They're worn in a parallel universe.

Peter York

I think I'm attracted to subjects that I'm afraid of. It's a way to approach things I am afraid of, things that bring fear in my heart, and try to understand them, try to deal with them. It's like demons. I try to approach it and understand it... I'm just visiting fears.

Denis Villeneuve

I don't criticise anybody, but I just don't understand religion. Like I don't understand nationalism. These are the two things that cause wars. I don't understand why they are supposed to be good things.

Hugh Masekela

And who says you always have to understand things? You can like them without understanding them -- like 'em better sometimes.

Dodie Smith

I feel like you can look inside me and see all the places I am odd or unusual and fit your heart around them, for you are odd and unusual in just the same way. We are the same.

Cassandra Clare

You won't understand me unless you understand that I am an odd ball.

Sloan Wilson

...you'll find that being a friend is to like a person for who they are, even the parts you don't understand. You don't have to understand, or do the same, or live their lives for them. If you truly care for them, then you want them to be who they are; that was why you liked them in the first place.
