Text Quotes
Feminism is a belief that although women and men are inherently of equal worth, most societies privilege men as a group. As a result, social movements are necessary to achieve political equality between women and men, with the understanding that gender always intersects with other social hierarchies  (Understanding Quotes) Good questions work on us, we don’t work on them. They are not a project to be completed but a doorway opening onto greater depth of understanding, actions that will take us into being more fully alive  (Understanding Quotes) Skill in the digital age is confused with mastery of digital tools, masking the importance of understanding materials and mastering the elements of form  (Understanding Quotes) Understanding that these statements do not represent reality, we should not be threatened by the language that he has used  (Understanding Quotes) The design of good houses requires an understanding of both the construction materials and the behavior of real humans  (Understanding Quotes) Be culturally literate, because if you don’t have any understanding of the world you live in and the culture you live in, you’re not going to express anything to anybody else  (Understanding Quotes) When you feel the architecture just click, as though it couldn’t have been anything else, it’s due to a true understanding of the site and the plan and section  (Understanding Quotes) Whenever we make changes in our surroundings, we can too easily shortchange ourselves, by cutting ourselves off from some of the sights and sounds, the shapes or textures, or other information from a place that have helped mold our understanding and are now necessary for us to thrive. Overdevelopment and urban sprawl can damage our own lives as much as they damage our cities and countryside  (Understanding Quotes) Understanding the simple fact that morality differs around the world, and even within societies, is the first step toward understanding your righteous mind  (Understanding Quotes) If our goal is to understand the world, to seek a deeper understanding of the world, our general lack of moral diversity here is going to make it harder. Because when people all share values, when people all share morals, they become a team  (Understanding Quotes) Be content with who you are and where you are, and do whatever you can do to bring to others such contentment, and joy, and understanding that you have managed to find yourself  (Understanding Quotes) And in this silence of the dumb and these speeches of the blind, in this medly of people bound together by the same grief, terror and hope, in this hatred and lack of understanding between men who spoke the same tongue, you could see much of the tragedy of the twentieth century  (Understanding Quotes) It is my intent to beget a good understanding between the chymists and the mechanical philosophers who have hitherto been too little acquainted with one another’s learning  (Understanding Quotes) We have not always been forced to pass, to go underground, in order to work and live. We have a right to live openly and proudly... when our lives are suppressed, everyone is denied an understanding of the rich diversity of sex and gender expression and experience that exist in human society  (Understanding Quotes) If a book is easy and fits nicely into all your language conventions and thought forms, then you probably will not grow much from reading it. It may be entertaining, but not enlarging to your understanding. It’s the hard books that count. Raking is easy, but all you get is leaves; digging is hard, but you might find diamonds  (Understanding Quotes) Empathy is a special way of coming to know another and ourself, a kind of attuning and understanding. When empathy is extended, it satisfies our needs and wish for intimacy, it rescues us from our feelings of aloneness  (Understanding Quotes) The empathic understanding of the experience of other human beings is as basic an endowment of man as his vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell  (Understanding Quotes) The way we are educated and entertained keep us from knowing about or understanding the pain of others  (Understanding Quotes) Our problem is that sound is not important in our culture. We know the world from the visual, not from the other senses. I had to be taught other ways of understanding  (Understanding Quotes) The top 1 percent have the best houses, the best educations, the best doctors, and the best lifestyles, but there is one thing that money doesn’t seem to have bought: an understanding that their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live. Throughout history, this is something that the top 1 percent eventually do learn. Too late  (Understanding Quotes) The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference  (Understanding Quotes) Understanding a people’s culture exposes their normalness without reducing their particularity... It renders them accessible: setting them in the frame of their own banalities, it dissolves their opacity  (Understanding Quotes) Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves  (Understanding Quotes) We are born into a realm of constant change. Everything is decaying. We are continually losing all that we come in contact with. Our tendency to get attached to impermanent experiences causes sorrow, lamentation and grief, because eventually we are separated from everything and everyone we love. Our lack of acceptance and understanding of this fact makes life unsatisfactory  (Understanding Quotes) I think if you’ve suffered, if you’ve experienced loss, you’re probably more open to understanding it and more comfortable talking about it and experiencing it  (Understanding Quotes) A good stack of examples, as large as possible, is indispensable for a thorough understanding of any concept,and when I want to learn something new, I make it my first job to build one  (Understanding Quotes) The appreciation of the merits of art of the emotions it conveys depends upon an understanding of the meaning of life  (Understanding Quotes) Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that’s what matters. That’s a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly; it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly; it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding  (Understanding Quotes) It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he or she is potentially. Each photographer, then, should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through an understanding of others and the world we inhabit. When that happens, the results, like photographs, are really the expressions of the life of the maker  (Understanding Quotes) At the deepest level of ecological awareness you are talking about spiritual awareness. Spiritual awareness is an understanding of being imbedded in a larger whole, a cosmic whole, of belonging to the universe  (Understanding Quotes)
