Famous quotes containing the word understand:
“It’s like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don’t understand how you can live there. It’s really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there’s nothing moving.

“I have always found women difficult. I don’t really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.”

“There is the fear that we shan’t prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man—fear that men won’t understand us and we shall be cut of from them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
