Plain Things Quotes

Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves Picture Quote #1

Me is a common sense man. That mean when me explain things, me explain it in a very simple way; that mean if I explain it to a baby, the baby will understand too, you know Picture Quote #1

Religions sprang up among men to deal with the sometimes terrifying aspects of existence, to make sense out of the senseless, to explain things we find inexplicable Picture Quote #1

We all dream dreams of unity, of purity; we all dream that there’s an authoritative voice out there that will explain things, including ourselves. If it wasn’t for our longing for these things, I doubt the novel or the short story would exist in its current form. I’m not going to say much more on the topic. Just remember: In dictatorships, only one person is really allowed to speak. And when I write a book or a story, I too am the only one speaking, no matter how I hide behind my characters Picture Quote #1

We had come here to have a break from thoughts and the hard work that came with the constant interaction with idiots. Or at least people we considered idiots because they were not mind readers and we had to, patiently, use polite words to explain things that we were thinking when really inside we were fighting the urge to take their heads in our hands and softly and repeatedly thud their foreheads off the wall Picture Quote #1

I tell my students that when you write, you should pretend you’re writing the best letter you ever wrote to the smartest friend you have. That way, you’ll never dumb things down. You won’t have to explain things that don’t need explaining. You’ll assume an intimacy and a natural shorthand, which is good because readers are smart and don’t wish to be condescended to Picture Quote #1

I actually like how doctors talk. I like the sound of science. I like how words you don’t understand explain things you can’t understand Picture Quote #1

We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know Picture Quote #1

I never say that evolution is a fact. Evolution is a theory. It’s much more important than a fact, because theories explain things Picture Quote #1
