I was trying to find out what it was that everybody else understood without giving up my stubborn and hard-won lack of understanding.
- David Antin
Education, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.
- Ambrose Bierce
Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact.
- Terry Pratchett
This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.
- Franz Kafka
Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding.
- Milan Kundera
By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
- George Orwell
Stefan was the one who... the one she loved. But he'd never understood that love was not singular. He'd never understood that she could be in love with Damon and that it would never change an atom's worth of her love for him. Or that his lack of understanding had been so wrenching and painful that she had felt torn in two different people at times.
- L J Smith
You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it.
- Edward James Olmos
Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.
- W Clement Stone
More has been screwed up on the battlefield and misunderstood in the Pentagon because of a lack of understanding of the English language than any other single factor.
- John W Vessey Jr
The tendency of philosophers who know nothing of machinery is to talk of man as a mere mechanism, intending by this to imply that he is without purpose. This shows a lack of understanding of machines as well as of man.
