Text Quotes
Being positive is like going up a mountain. Being negative is like sliding down a hill. A lot of times, people want to take the easy way out, because it’s basically what they’ve understood throughout their lives  (Understood Quotes) What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that  (Understood Quotes) You know, I’ve always just made the choices on my characters based on my connection to them, and I’ve made decisions that maybe other people haven’t understood; why I passed on something, for instance  (Understood Quotes) The difficulty lay with the mind accommodating itself to the notion of the plane, with all its weight, defying gravity, staying aloft. She understood the aerodynamics of flight, could comprehend the laws of physics that made flight possible, but her heart, at the moment, would have none of it. Her heart knew the plane could fall out of the sky  (Understood Quotes) I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalized with serious problems  (Understood Quotes) I wasn’t funny as a kid. I remember enjoying comedians, but I never understood it was a job choice or a profession  (Understood Quotes) Some comics really thrive on being disrespectful, especially toward women, and it’s somehow understood as edgy, but I’m the opposite. I’ve never liked curse words for that reason  (Understood Quotes) Satire must always accompany any free society. It is an absolute necessity. Even in the most repressive medieval kingdoms, they understood the need for the court jester, the one soul allowed to tell the truth through laughter. It is, in many ways, the most powerful form of free speech because it is aimed at those in power, or those whose ideas would spread hate. It is the canary in the coalmine, a cultural thermometer, and it always has to push, push, push the boundaries of society to see how much it’s grown  (Understood Quotes) I eat in a strange way, but I enjoy it. Everything became well when I finally understood that I enjoy being hungry. Normally, I only eat in the evening  (Understood Quotes) I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It’s because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it  (Understood Quotes) In democracy, as quaintly understood, voters pick their representatives. American democracy increasingly reverses that. Legislative districts are drawn to protect incumbents who, effectively, pick their voters  (Understood Quotes) My friends and neighbors were always fixing their cars. Soldiers who felt restless wanted to work on something, and they understood cars. Me, I like to look at cars but I was never really a mechanic  (Understood Quotes) I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You’re knocking on everyone’s door trying to get them to believe what you’re doing  (Understood Quotes) Human beings, when they encounter that which can’t be understood, either run away from it, run towards it blindly, or just rationalize it out of existence  (Understood Quotes) If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him  (Understood Quotes) In the last two or three decades, there’s been a feminization of the man in popular media that I’ve never really understood  (Understood Quotes) I understood that I was not the best director in the world nor the worst director in the world. I realized that there is a very mysterious element to what works and what doesn’t work in the theater. And it’s good to know that from the beginning  (Understood Quotes) Nine times out of 10, women don’t want to fix a problem, they just want to be understood. I’ll never get that  (Understood Quotes) I have never doubted that religious phenomena are only to be understood on the pattern of the individual neurotic symptoms familiar to us  (Understood Quotes) Humanity has understood nothing. Religious, tribal, national wars continue. The world continues to be in a sea of blood  (Understood Quotes) Who is an authentic seeker, but someone who has understood that there is nothing else to do but practice? Enthusiastic or discouraged, he or she continues, no matter what  (Understood Quotes) Never understood a lot about the world... music is one of the only things that makes any sense  (Understood Quotes) I have never understood why one’s affections must be confined, as once with women, to a single country  (Understood Quotes) When a concept has been understood intellectually, if the learning is to be of value then a connection with personal feelings, inner knowing and experience has to be made, and consideration of how the information would best be applied  (Understood Quotes) As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I became civilized  (Understood Quotes) I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy  (Understood Quotes) One of the biggest impediments for women is that they have never really understood, looked at or examined their own genitals. They have not really figured out what kind of stimulation and where feels best for them, so they are not able to guide a partner in this  (Understood Quotes) Society likes to file you away, put you in this or that category. And I never fit any category. Maybe that’s why I was left out of a lot of things, or why my work was not really understood, because there was no precedent for it  (Understood Quotes) The highest art... sets down its creations and trusts in their magic, without fear of not being understood  (Understood Quotes) By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time  (Understood Quotes)
