The only things that distinguish the photographer from everybody else are his pictures: they alone are the basis for our special interest in him. If pictures cannot be understood without knowing details of the artist’s private life, then that is a reason for faulting them; major art, by definition, can stand independent of its maker (Understood Quotes)
There is something wrong with a work of art if it can be understood by a policeman (Understood Quotes)
She wishes her grandmother had not been so protective, and that she understood better what passes between a man and woman. As it is, she simply enjoys the feelings and wonders if they are what lightning is made of, for everything comes back to the weather. Tears like rain. Smiles like the sun. Hair as dry as sand and fear like the dark ocean (Understood Quotes)

Life can only be understood backwards but you have to live it forward. You can only do that by stepping into uncertainty and by trying, within this uncertainty, to create your own islands of security... The new security will be a belief that... if this doesn’t work out you could do something else. You are your own security (Understood Quotes)
When children feel understood, their loneliness and hurt diminish. When children are understood, their love for their parent is deepened. A parent’s sympathy serves as emotional first aid for bruised feelings. When we genuinely acknowledge a child’s plight and voice her disappointment, she often gathers the strength to face reality (Understood Quotes)
Some people think to be strong is to never feel pain. However the strongest people are the ones that have felt pain, understood it, accepted it and learned from it (Understood Quotes)

It is hard to communicate understanding because that is something you get by living with a problem for a long time. You study it, perhaps for years, you get the feel of it and it is in your bones. You can’t convey that to anyone else. Having studied the problem for five years you may be able to present it in such a way that it would take somebody else less time to get to that point than it took you. But if they haven’t struggled with the problem and seen all the pitfalls, then they haven’t really understood it (Understood Quotes)
All narratives, even the confusing, are implicitly hopeful; they speak of a world that can be ordered, and thus understood (Understood Quotes)
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that? (Understood Quotes)

The entire repertoire of our life experiences can be accessed and activated from the body in movement …every part and function of the body can also be understood as metaphors for the expression of our being (Understood Quotes)

People expect that they should be understood by you but seldom put in an effort to understand you (Understood Quotes)
Among friends one has the privilege of saying nothing; the civility consists in the assumption that one’s silence will be civilly understood. I can imagine a small gathering of friends who say nothing all evening: they recoil from saying anything that the others don’t want to hear; and their silence would be the subtlest courtesy (Understood Quotes)
International affairs will be placed on a better footing when it is understood that there is no way of punishing a people for the crimes of its rulers (Understood Quotes)
Our relatives form the natural setting of our childhood. We understand ourselves best and are best understood by others through the persons who came nearest to us in our earliest years (Understood Quotes)
