Explained Quotes

Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary Picture Quote #1

There were sins that were too subtle to be explained, and there were others that were too terrible to be clearly mentioned. For example, there was sex, which was always smouldering just under the surface and which suddenly blew up into a tremendous row when I was about twelve Picture Quote #1

Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us Picture Quote #1

The most savory grape, the one that produces the wines with best texture and aroma, the sweetest and most generous, doesn’t grow in rich soil but in stony land; the plant, with a mother’s obstinacy, overcomes obstacles to thrust its roots deep into the ground and take advantage of every drop of water. That, my grandmother explained to me, is how flavors are concentrated in the grape Picture Quote #1

We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn’t explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears Picture Quote #1

Any explanation or logic that explains everything so easily has a hidden trap in it. I’m speaking from experience. Somebody once said if it’s something a single book can explain, it’s not worth having explained. What I mean is don’t leap to any conclusions Picture Quote #1

Devotion has its own strange ways. It is not something rational, logical, something that can be explained to you. But it is something, if you go on growing from a student into a disciple, from a disciple into a devotee, and you come so close to the master that there is no distinction at all Picture Quote #1

She explained that the bullet had entered through the side of my left eye where there was a scar, traveled eighteen inches down to my left shoulder and stopped there. It could have taken out my eye or gone into my brain. It was a miracle I was alive Picture Quote #1

Every day things happen in the world that cannot be explained by any law of things we know. Every day they’re mentioned and forgotten, and the same mystery that brought them takes them away, transforming their secret into oblivion. Such is the law by which things that can’t be explained must be forgotten. The visible world goes on as usual in the broad daylight. Otherness watches us from the shadows Picture Quote #1

Many of the railroad evils were inherent in the situation; they were explained by the fact that both managers and public were dealing with a new agency whose laws they did not completely understand Picture Quote #1

A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day’s unity Picture Quote #1

Hitler explained quietly that he wanted these things done. It is of interest that no one objected or talked back. It was law and it was genius speaking Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve explained earlier on in the year that I kind of underestimated how important experience was in this series, especially when you’re up against such good quality drivers Picture Quote #1

He explained how ridiculous the clowning was, and there and then I decided to settle down and play seriously Picture Quote #1

On the other hand, what is really irrational and what truly cannot be explained is not evil but, contrarily, the good Picture Quote #1

Any inaccuracies in this index may be explained by the fact that it has been sorted with the help of a computer Picture Quote #1

A judge is not supposed to know anything about the facts of life until they have been presented in evidence and explained to him at least three times Picture Quote #1

The credulity of the church is decreasing, and the most marvelous miracles are not either explained, allowed to take refuge behind the mistakes of the translators, or hide in the drapery of allegory Picture Quote #1

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity Picture Quote #1

Never attribute to malice or other deliberate decision what can be explained by human frailty, imperfection, or ignorance Picture Quote #1

The life sciences contain spiritual values which can never be explained by the materialistic attitude of present day science Picture Quote #1

But the meaning of life is not... explained by one’s business life, nor is the deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account Picture Quote #1

Bush explained his fundamental concept to me, that freedom is not an American invention, but rather a gift from God to all people Picture Quote #1

An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon Picture Quote #1

Maybe it’s a compliment to the film that you can’t do that with it, that it can’t be explained in 15 seconds Picture Quote #1

I learned how to have a little bit of distance when I explained songs and a little bit of distance when I wrote them. I think this is more interesting any way in art Picture Quote #1
