Not to understand is profound; to understand is shallow. Not to understand is to be on the inside; to understand is to be on the outside.

If you cannot understand something, then you have understood it incorrectly.

It is only the things we don't understand that have any meaning. Man woke up in a world he did not understand, and that is why he tries to interpret it.

Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding.

To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.

It is very frustrating not to be understood in this world. If you say one thing and keep being told that you mean something else, it can make you want to scream. But somewhere in the world there is a place for all of us, whether you are an electric form of decoration, peppermint-scented sweet, a source of timber, or a potato pancake.

It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand...

Misunderstood! It is a right fool's word. Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

They didn't understand it, but like so many unfortunate events in life, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.

إن كل شيء لا نفهمه يعتبر معجزة

Understanding, as we understand it, is misunderstanding.

Knowing something and understanding it were not the same thing.

there is something in nature you don’t understand, odds are it makes sense in a deeper way that is beyond your understanding.

I do not know everything; still many things I understand.
