If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke!

Everybody just yells and screams at each other. Nobody’s civil anymore. Nobody thinks what it’s like to be the other guy.

You really want to know what it feels like to be the clown at midnight? Where there’s only ever one joke and it’s always on

That’s not funny…

Don’t test the monster in me!

What?

I will spend more time with it.

She needs modification.

You received my message?

Why would I feel insulted?

Where does that leave us now?

What is it?

Perhaps we’ll learn what’s really going on in this murky fen.

Would we crave peace
If we knew what it was.

I always say if God didn’t allow any bad things to happen, we would already be in heaven. And we are not there. That’s where trust and faith comes in. You just say, “Lord, I don’t understand it. But one thing I do know is that you understand it and that you are in control and I trust you.”

People sometimes can hurt you without it, simply because it is not always easy for them to understand you, because every single one of us is unique and different. Never let your hopes go and keep your head up in these difficult times and everything will be just fine.

God hears and He sees, and you are not alone in your struggles. Remain firm and stable, for God has your deliverance planned.

God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high,

And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.

I measure every Grief I meet
With narrow, probing, eyes –
I wonder if It weighs like Mine –
Or has an Easier size.

Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.

Lost as we feel, there is no better
Compass than compassion.

I still don’t know very much about their situations or family affairs… However, I’ll find out more about them in time. And I wanna be

How is it that you can give me the words I needed to hear the most right now? How is it that somebody like you

Tohru Honda: Let’s go home. Please! We have to go home right now! If we don’t, I have a feeling Kyo won’t come back to

The Law Polarity decrease that everything has an opposite it’s the flip side of the coin, you’re right my left, the front the back, consider

To lead you need to empathise, to empathise you need to genuinely understand, to understand you need to be willing to have difficult conversations.

Those who don’t know the value of loyalty, won’t understand the cost of betrayal.

Trust means you anchor your heart in the reality of God’s awareness of your situation.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

Why are you always yelling?

It means that there’s only one love for everyone who exists. And when you meet that love, you know them. You know you were meant

Poke the scar until it speaks.
This is how every memory starts.

The greatest power you possess in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose.

God is so good to give us new days and New Years since He knows we need so many times to start over.

Sometimes the first step toward forgiveness is realizing the other person was born an idiot.

It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.

Sometimes I haven’t understood why he has done things and why things happened, but I know that God has a plan.

Even if we don’t always know what is going on in our lives or things are changing, God knows and He has a plan to make things great for us.

You have to turn it around and say God still has a great plan for my life. I may not understand things that happen, but

Just because I don’t understand God’s plans does not mean that he is not with me.

God’s plan and His ways of working out His plan are frequently beyond our ability to fathom and understand. We must learn to trust when

God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand His wisdom, but we simply have to trust His will.

If I truly believe everything that’s in that book, God is in control. He is in control. He’s working for my good. Doesn’t mean everything’s

Always trust your gut instinct. There will come a time when you will understand, but for now trust God has a plan greater than you

There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

There is a difference between giving up and knowing when you have had enough.

When a chapter of your Life Book is complete, your spirit knows it’s time to turn the page so a new chapter can begin. Even when you’re scared or think you’re not ready your spirit knows you are.

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

He didn’t talk much but I didn’t talk much either and we got along.

It’s a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day?

Even I… know what it’s like to be jealous.

He lied about that. He didn’t want to annoy you. He’s a slitherer-outer, if you know what I mean, Your Majesty.

They won’t be able to see you?

Snape’s Patronus was a doe, the same as my mother’s, because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children. You should have realized, he asked you to spare her life, didn’t he?

No. He must’ve always known you’d always want to come back.

Severus Snape wasn’t yours. Snape was Dumbledore’s, Dumbledore’s from the moment you started hunting down my mother. And you never realised it, because of the thing you can’t understand. You never saw Snape cast a Patronus, did you, Riddle?

Hermione, you’re good on feelings and stuff, but you just don’t understand about Quidditch.

Mothers are inscrutable beings to their sons, always.

Raising boys has made me a more generous woman than I really am. Undoubtedly, there are other routes to learning the wishes and dreams of the presumably opposite sex, but I know of none more direct, or more highly motivating, than being the mother of sons.

Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.

Me pretending to listen should be enough for you.

“Is something the matter?” Calcifer asked.

“Yes. My heart. There was a scarecrow at the door!” Sophie gasped.

“What has a scarecrow to do with your heart?” Calcifer asked.

“It was trying to get in here. It gave me a terrible fright. And my heart—but you wouldn’t understand, you silly young demon!” Sophie panted. “You haven’t got a heart.”

“Yes I have,” Calcifer said, as proudly as he had revealed his arm. “Down in the glowing part under the logs. And don’t call me young. I’m a good million years older than you are! Can I reduce the speed of the castle now?”

I’ve told my grandchildren, ‘First you learn how to work the problem, and then you can go use the computer.’ I never liked that they could use a computer to find the answer.

Part of the process of beginning anew, or changing directions is to know where you want to go. I know this sounds simplistic and easy, but this is one of the most difficult of choices to make with clarity.

I’m not the cruel type, but they are, and that’s the secret.

The thing is, if she didn’t love all of me, that would’ve been fine. Or even if… if she were scared, I’d get that. Because

Kazuma Sohma: I believe you know of the Zodiac spirits?
Tohru Honda: Ah, yes!
Kazuma Sohma: Ah, but how much?

Things we didn’t understand as children become strangely clear as we age.

Ayame Sohma: What do you think, Yuki? Has this helped you to understand your older brother?
Yuki Sohma: I think you should leave.

What’s wrong? Why would you…? When you… Do sad things like that… I don’t like it.

I love her… I love her. I wanted to be free to act on my feelings, and wanted that person to understand…

Yuki’s not stupid. He’s just… He’s still a child. There are still a lot of things… He can’t give up. There’s no rush.

Shigure Sohma: In the car… on the way back… he called Tohru “ugly”. If you lock someone up… in a dark room… for a long,

In just one respect… Rin and I are alike. We’re looking for… The same thing.

Thank you… For not forgetting… The memory of that day long, long ago. I was very happy… To be able to save you when you

Howl : You? You can’t

She said ‘Over my dead body!’ so I took her at her word.

I know that I’m going to die and that you’re going to die. I can’t do anything about that. But I can explore it through a metaphor and make a kind of funny, dark story about it, and in doing so, really exhaust and research as many aspects of it as I can imagine. And in a way, that does give me some closure.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You’re here to be you, not to be what someone else wants you to be. Stand up for yourself, look them in the eye, and say Don’t judge me until you know me, don’t underestimate me until you’ve challenged me, and don’t talk about me until you’ve talked to me.

Comfort is not where you grow. You grow in conflict, easy to say but hard to do. Adversity’s greatest gain is I grow closer to Christ and still understand that God’s in control and He always knows my situation. It’s not too big for Him. And He has a plan for me. But sometimes the plan’s not exactly what I want. But the plan is hopefully, to influence other people for eternity as they watch me go through that situation.

My melanin is powerful. It threatens the ignorant, challenges the misinformed. My articulation intimidates. It demands respect the moment I speak. You understand me clearly and with all that all I’ve ever had to be, was black…

I love you because you understand me, take the time to teach me, support me, and encourage me to reach my goals.

We stand United against Racism!

The strength of a man is in his character. A strong man is great man of wisdom who understands, his top priority is to his family.

Know how to learn. Then, want to learn.

I used to live with my grandmother. I used to wonder why the other kids in school went home with their mothers and fathers. I wanted to be the guy that got married. I wanted to be the guy with the children and the white picket fence. I never had that.

Elena Neves: This doesn’t make any sense.
Hobbs: Here’s what makes sense!

Gabrielle: I need to ask you a question.
Manuel: Of course.
Gabrielle: Why did you leave us? I’m just trying to understand why you would just go like that.
Manuel: Okay. Because one day, I looked at your mother and you, and realized you both didn’t mean anything to me anymore. I know it’s hard to understand. But I wasted time being with you and her. And she f**king dies and leaves me with you, who I never wanted. Any more questions? You don’t need to come back.

“Hungover?”
“Like an alcoholic preacher on Sunday morning.”
“Maybe you shouldn’t drink so much,” I suggested.
“Pudge.” She shook her head and sipped the cold coffee and wine. “Pudge, what you must understand about me is that I am a deeply unhappy person.”

No, no, no. I’m not insulting you. I’m just describing you.

May the Lord bless your day with love, peace, and joy. May you be surrounded by those who care for you, and may your heart be filled with compassion and understanding.

The Holy One. I have never stopped believing in him. I don’t understand the idea that God wants to be worshipped one way alone, and when I feel overwhelmed by the immensity and beauty of his creation, I am glad my mother taught me to bless and praise him everywhere.

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

This year the size of a sea
Sick to its stomach.
Like a page, we are only legible
When opened to one another.

We write because you might listen.

Again, language matters.
Children have been taught-
America: without her, democracy fails.
But the truth is:
America without her democracy fails.

Man is the victim of an environment which refuses to understand his soul.

Sometimes I could see that others in the class did not understand what W.W. Schieffelin Claytor was teaching. So I would ask questions to help them. He’d tell me that I should know the answer, and I finally had to tell him that I did know the answer, but the other students did not. I could tell.

You do know that you’re going on a date with Lara not Alaska right?

Maybe that’s what it is, the labyrinth. What if it’s suffering?

Nice to know I represent rock bottom.

To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you; you’re frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.

I guess even bad guys have problems.

What you don’t know, what you don’t understand… You can learn those things starting now. So let’s change, okay? Akito. This is what I wanted to talk to you about before. If you continue to stay in this environment, the “bond” and the “Sohma family” will consume you. You’ll feel empty inside forever. You’ll never be satisfied. You’ve realized it too, haven’t you?

You know me so well, inside out. Your deep acceptance of me is what I love most about you.

I can’t stop loving you and no matter what I say or do you know my heart is true.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

You have no idea how much I care about you.

Man is not intended to see through the eyes of another, hear through another’s ears nor comprehend with another’s brain. Each human creature has individual endowment, power and responsibility in the creative plan of God.

This girl is so foolish…and so dear to me.

Children always understand much more than adults give them credit for. At the very least, they can tell if the intent was kind or hateful.

I love you, and I need you. You’re the only one who understands me.

Tohru Honda: Shigure is always smiling. But, I wonder if I gave him some problems with my request.
Yuki Sohma: The only ones who can truly understand what Shigure is thinking is Hatori and… a few other people. Someone has said this before. It is said that he is like a “tide…” A tide that carries you away when you get too close to it. The tide touches your feet… But when you reach down to touch it, it will have already departed. It is within your reach, yet you may never catch it…

If only it was effortless to understand you because if it wasn’t so. . .there wouldn’t be any point to be by your side…

I want someone too. Not a person I put up on a pedestal, but someone who’s on my level. Someone I need and who needs me back…feeling secure when I go to sleep and being accepted, they’re not enough. I want to give. I want to give something that only I can give. I want to take all of the encouragement, kindness, and warmth you gave to me and set out once more. I don’t want to lose to the darkness. I want to have faith and move forward. This time for sure, I won’t waste what you’ve given to me. I want to find it. My own proof that I’m alive.

No amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life. It is the understanding and application of wise thought that counts.

Never settle for less, and then you will realize what you are worth; that is the truth of it.

We can’t love our neighbors until we know how crooked their hearts are. Don’t you like porn?

God, I understand whale anatomy. Can we move on now, Herman?

I don’t understand why you’re so obsessed with figuring out everything that happens here, like we have to unravel every mystery.

God! I can’t stand these fake grievers.

Takumi shook his head, his hands pushing aside leaves to dig into the still-wet dirt beneath. “I just don’t get why she’d be so afraid of getting expelled. I’d hate to get expelled, but you have to take your lumps. I don’t get it.”

“Well, she obviously doesn’t like home.”

“True. She only goes home over Christmas and the summer, when Jake is there. But whatever. I don’t like home, either.”

If you already understand your purpose, are you prepared to change your plans to match God’s will? If you aren’t, you can easily become bitter because things that used to work for you may no longer work. Be willing to transition at every stage and age of life. If your heart is open and you have an open mind, the blessings will flow.

God will let you into the battlefield, so that you can understand the meaning of victory.

God’s got a lot of explaining to do. Of course, God never explains. When life breaks your heart, you’re just supposed to pick up the pieces and start all over, I guess.

Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

Time, power, money, and body may not cooperate every time in life, but good nature, good understanding, spiritual path and true spirit will always cooperate in life….Good Morning. Have a nice day.

If we understand the momentary nature of realization, then each moment becomes a great opportunity for us. It is the opportunity for practice, for realization. Each moment is precious, because we have the opportunity to start fresh and to see, nakedly, the dharmakaya once again and experience a moment of enlightenment.

Not to ask the obvious question, but why Alaska?

Reading it the night before, I’d wondered if it would be like that for me – if in one moment, I would finally understand her, know her, and understand the role I’d played in her dying. But I wasn’t convinced enlightenment struck like lightining.

You’ve got a lifetime to mull over the Buddhist understanding of interconnectedness. But while you were looking out the window, you missed the chance to explore the equally interesting Buddhist belief in being present for every facet of your daily life, of being truly present. Be present in this class. And then, when it’s over, be present out there.

Clearly understand that the only limitations you will ever have are the limitations you impose upon yourself. You truly do have infinite potential.

My mom said that when you become a parent you understand for the first time what a parent feels. But…but what you really need to understand what you really shouldn’t forget is what you felt like as a child. The first time you did a somersault, the first time someone got really mad at you…If you can really remember how you felt when you were a child even when you’re an adult or a parent, then you can understand each other. Even if it’s not 100% you can meet each other half-way…she said. Because thinking that way reminds you that life is fun.

Hatsuharu-san! We understand that you’re in the Zodiacs, but you can’t just barge in here!

I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It’s okay if you have to leave us. It’s okay if you want to stop fighting.

She was perfect, pure maddening sex, and she knew it, and she played on it, dripped it, and allowed you to suffer for it.

Writing lets me face it. It chills me out. For a while anyhow. Then my wires get crossed and I have to do it all over again. I can’t understand writers who decide to stop writing. How do they chill out?

My Cats

I know. I know.
they are limited, have different
needs and
concerns.

but I watch and learn from them.
I like the little they know,
which is so
much.

they complain but never
worry,
they walk with a surprising dignity.
they sleep with a direct simplicity that
humans just can’t
understand.

their eyes are more
beautiful than our eyes.

and they can sleep 20 hours
a day
without
hesitation or
remorse.

when I am feeling
low
all I have to do is
watch my cats
and my
courage
returns.

I study these
creatures.
they are my
teachers.

Yes, I know what you mean about writing and writers. We seem to have lost the target. Writers seem to write to be known as writers. They don’t write because something is driving them toward the edge. I look back at when Pound, T. S. Eliot, e. e. Cummings, Jeffers, Auden, Spender were about. Their work cracked right through the paper, set it on fire. Poems became events, explosions. There was a high excitement. Now, for decades there has seemed to be this lull, almost a practiced lull, as if dullness indicated genius. And if a new talent came along it was only a flash, a few poems, a thin book and then he or she was sanded down, ingested into the quiet nothingness. Talent without durability is a god damned crime. It means they went to the soft trap, it means they believed the praise, it means they settled short. A writer is not a writer because he has written some books. A writer is not a writer because he teaches literature. A writer is only a writer if he can write now, tonight, this minute. We have too many x-writers who type. Books fall from my hand to the floor. They are total crap. I think we have just blown away half a century to the stinking winds.

People just weren’t interesting. Maybe they weren’t supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn’t understand it.

I lapsed into my pathetic cut-off period. Often with humans, both good and bad, my senses simply shut off, they get tired, I give up. I am polite. I nod. I pretend to understand because I don’t want anybody to be hurt. That is the one weakness that has lead me into the most trouble. Trying to be kind to others I often get my soul shredded into a kind of spiritual pasta. No matter. My brain shuts off. I listen. I respond. And they are too dumb to know that I am not there.

God has a perfect plan for us. He never does it all at once, just step by step because he wants to teach us to walk by faith not by sight.

Step into my shoes and walk the life I’m living and if you get as far as I am, just maybe you will see how strong I really am.

Only a strong man resonates with a strong woman.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.

He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.

A weak man can’t love a strong woman. He won’t know what to do with her.

A strong man who has known power all his life may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength.

A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.

I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

The more we understand God’s sovereignty, the more our prayers will be filled with thanksgiving.

You know what they say; you don’t know what you have till that nigga gone.

Wherever my curiosity takes me, I follow. If I f**king hate it, I’m on to the next thing. A lot of people don’t move like that and it just boggles my mind. It’s like a math problem I can’t comprehend.

It’s funny how aimless a person can feel at times, even when they know God is in control.

I DECLARE that God has a great plan for my life. He is directing my steps. And even though I may not always understand how, I know my situation is not a surprise to God. He will work out every detail to my advantage. In His perfect timing, everything will turn out right. This is my declaration.

Once you understand the keys of success it’s not the end, it’s only the beginning.

Hey, don’t feel anxious just try to understand that you are still young, and the universe is endless, and somehow, one day everything will be okay.

Don’t judge truckers until you’ve driven a year in their truck.

Be careful. A careful driver knows that careless drivers do not understand just how dangerous they are.

People don’t realize how many miles a truck drives a year on the road.

To endure, give, create, sustain, make good, look good, stay sweet, sweat, dread, plead, not again, make it happen over days, weeks, years, to numbness. The mental cruelty to impose on yourself and everyone thinks they see but your body knows and feels the strain, hurt and turmoil. Time to pick up a plan and level up.

You must begin to understand that the present state of your bank account, your sales, your health, your social life, your position at work, etc., is nothing more than the physical manifestation of your previous thinking.

I never met a wise man that didn’t understand change.

I know a lot, but there’s some things I don’t know.

There’s a feeling you can’t understand unless you get hurt and cause trouble. There’s also a feeling you won’t get unless you hit rock bottom. You rebel against the ideals of life, but then everything goes bad, and for the first time, you find yourself yearning for those ideals. Pain would mean nothing without kindness. Darkness can’t stand out without the sun. Neither is something to scoff at. Both sides of the equation have meaning. So even if you stumble and make mistakes, it isn’t for nothing. If you think to yourself, “I won’t let this be for nothing!” it’ll turn into something that will help you grow.

I see…so that’s what being alone feels like. (internally) I wanted to see things from her perspective. I wanted to understand, even if only a little. After all, if I couldn’t, what would be the point of being with her?

We have to understand there are two parts of our mind, there’s the conscious and the subconscious. It’s the subconscious that controls our behavior. It’s the conscious mind where the intellect is resident. So the conscious mind is understanding information, but it’s not internalizing it.

God’s purposes are not for me to understand His plans: His plan is for me to understand Who He is.

Haru understood me. He cherished me. He loved me. That’s why…that’s exactly why…

Career advice: never give up. Never lose faith. Never lose hope. Never put God in a box! Because the plans He has for you are bigger than anyone else’s understanding and way beyond your limitations. Life advice: never give up. Never lose faith. Never lose hope. Never put God in a box! Because the plans He has for you are bigger than anyone else’s understanding and way beyond your limitations!

When people ask me how they can know Gods plan for their lives, I tell them the best first step is to know God.

God is its author, and not man; he laid The key-note of all harmonies; he planned All perfect combinations, and he made Us so that we could hear and understand.

Don’t ask God to cram His plan into your puny little mind, because then God would be limited by your understanding.

Before we can know God and understand his great plan it is first necessary for us to believe that he exists and that he rewards all who diligently seek him.

It is as though he listened and such listening as his enfolds us in silence in which at last we begin to hear what we

I want to be a part of the grand plan. Being on board with God’s objectives means I understand that this is not about me.

Let me remind you that this is God’s universe, and He is doing things His way. You may think you have a better way, but you don’t have a universe to rule.

All was in God’s plan, and he had to accept it even though he didn’t understand.

When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you’ve been in God’s plan.

I’ve spent a lot of time tutoring kids in math as a volunteer. I’ve always enjoyed helping people understand what they can find in math. There’s no judgment there.

The law of attraction is always working whether you believe it or understand it or not.

We have the ability to choose, we are God’s higher form of creation, we surpass all other forms of life and we don’t use the mental faculties we’ve been given. We don’t even understand what we are capable of doing. School doesn’t teach us anything about ourselves. So the more we learn about ourselves, the more we take control over our life.

Can you keep up with my lingo?

You see weird things driving… I’ve never understood log trucks. Sometimes you’ll be out on the highway, you see two big giant trucks loaded up with logs, and they pass each other on the highway… I don’t understand that. I mean, if they need logs over there… and they need ’em over there, you’d think a phone call would save ’em a whole lot of trouble.

I am a trucker. That means I live in a crazy fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding a trucker.

Race the rain, ride the wind, change the sunset. Only a truck driver can understand.

I remember what it was like at age 6, not really understanding what was going on around me, but having all these grown-up thoughts running through my head about what I was facing, why this was happening.

All of us, no matter what we look like, we all have a common enemy, and that is evil. If we don’t understand that and come together, then evil will win.

You know, she’s so spunky!

Many people will never understand. It’s more than just a JEEP. It’s a Jeep style. It’s release. It’s passion.

Nobody knows trucks like truck drivers.

If I told you I was different, would you understand the difference?

She says I’m a dog, but it takes one to know one.

Without an understanding of bad…how can one truly have an appreciation of good.

You have to be intimate with a person to know that person.

It’s a trucks thing. You wouldn’t understand.

It is part of God’s plan for us that Christ shall come to us in everyone; it is in their particular role that we must learn to know him. He may come as a little child, making enormous demands, giving enormous consolation. He may come as a stranger, so that we must give the hospitality to a stranger that we should like to give to Christ.

Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But at the same time, there’s a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, well, if this is God’s plan, it’s very peculiar. And you have to wonder about that guy’s personality, the big guy’s personality.

It’s my luck that every time I feel I completely comprehend God’s plan, I don’t have a pencil with me.

The man who built the manger had a purpose in mind… God had another. You’ll never know how far reaching God’s plan is for your work.

The significance and joy in my science comes in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to myself, ‘So that’s how God did it.’ My goal is to understand a little corner of God’s plan.

God gave man an undeserved ability to do what He had planned for him to do.

God’s heavenly plan doesn’t always make earthly sense.

In the end, you will understand that it was simpler than you envisioned when you were beginning.

Griggs: I want you to know upfront that if you’re captured or any of this leaks, we’ll deny any participation or even knowledge of your existence.
Rambo: I’m used to it.

But I wanted to talk more about her and Vine Station and the future.
“Sometimes I don’t get you,” I said.
She didn’t even glance at me. She just smiled toward the television and said, “You never get me. That’s the whole point.”

“I know. I know. Just — hold on.” He pulled out a thick headband. It was brown, with a plush fox head on the front. He put it on his head.
I laughed. “What the hell is that?”
“It’s my fox hat.”
“Your fox hat?”
“Yeah, Pudge. My fox hat.”
“Why are you wearing your fox hat?” I asked.
“Because no one can catch the motherfucking fox.”

Because everybody who has ever lost their way in life has felt the nagging insistence of that question. At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze, and I don’t want us to forget Alaska, and I don’t want to forget that even when the material we study seems boring, we’re trying to understand how people have answered that question and the questions each of you posed in your papers — how different traditions have come to terms with what Chip, in his final, called ‘people’s rotten lots in life.’

It’s not as if I don’t know how to handle the truck now. A license is just a piece of paper.

I still did not know her as I wanted to, but I never could. She made it impossible for me. And the accicide, the suident, would never be anything else, and I was left to ask, Did I help you toward a fate you didn’t want, Alaska, or did I just assist in your willful self-destruction? Because they are different crimes, and I didn’t know whether to feel angry at her for making me part of her suicide or just to feel angry at myself for letting her go.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

And I am just one of many who repurposed their lives after they heard about the plan God had for them and as they experienced how God moved in another person’s life and purpose.

You’ll never find your place in God’s plan until you have the correct perspective of yourself.

What hurts most is that you know your love for God is strong, yet you can’t seem to understand what He is trying to work out in your life.

May you operate on a supernatural plane today. May every you come in contact with marvel at your insight and understanding of issues. Excellence will mark you out in Jesus’ mighty name. Good morning.

Every Christian by his or her very relationship to Christ seeks to know the will of God for each major decision in life.

Whether we are healed or not, God uses everything for some purpose, a greater purpose than we often can see.

I trust that as you read you will realize that you are God’s masterpiece created to do things that you can’t even yet imagine.

When you wanna be somebody you buy a new truck, when you know who you already are you drive a old truck.

Trautman: You did everything to make this private war happen. You’ve done enough damage. This mission is over, Rambo. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them out there! Look at them! If you won’t end this now, they will kill you. Is that what you want? It’s over Johnny. It’s over!
Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don’t turn it off! It wasn’t my war! You asked me, I didn’t ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn’t let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me, huh? Who are they? Unless they’ve been me and been there and know what the hell they’re yelling about!
Trautman: It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It’s all in the past now.
Rambo: For *you*! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there’s nothing!
Trautman: You’re the last of an elite group, don’t end it like this.
Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can’t even hold a job *parking cars*!

Trautman: I don’t think you understand. I didn’t come to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.
Teasle: Well, we all appreciate your concern Colonel, I will try to be extra careful!
Trautman: I’m just amazed he allowed any of your posse to live.
Teasle: Is that right?
Trautman: Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You’re lucky to be breathing.
Teasle: That’s just great. Colonel, you came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket!
Trautman: You don’t seem to want to accept the fact you’re dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who’s the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who’s been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well Rambo was the best.

Insomnia is an indication, not a chaos. Its like ache. You’re not going to provide a patient ache medicine without figuring out whats reasoning the pain.

You never know how much you truly appreciate sleep until it’s snatched away from you.

In order to realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the stress of the storm.

To know the strength of the anchor. You need to feel the storm.

You will find what you are looking for when you need to find them.

‘I do not know, nor do I wish to know, about such contracts,’ [Mrs. Pentstemmon] said. Her cane wobbled again, as if she might be shuddering. Her mouth quirked into a line, suggesting she had unexpectedly bitten on a peppercorn. ‘But I now see,’ she said, ‘what has happened to the Witch. She made a contract with a fire demon and, over the years, that demon has taken control of her. Demons do not understand good and evil. But they can be bribed into a contract, provided the human offers them something valuable, something only humans have.‘

It’s a barber thing… You wouldn’t understand.

Because I understand that when you’re looking for a barber, you’re looking for a person—a person who cares about your hair and how it looks and feels. That’s why I do my job with care.

‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.

We cannot hope to understand the world – all we can do is stand amazed at God’s creation.

It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.

I want people to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Just express your mental state to your barber, he will understand what haircut will suit you in this state.

The last thing an Englishman wants to hear is a man from Brussels trying to imitate his language – you want to hear a different point of view. You may not be able to understand the details, but you can understand the feeling.

Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light. Love the animals, love the plants, love each separate thing. If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.

I think you have to be yourself, and you have to be real and you have to admit what you don’t know, and talk about what you do know, and talk about what you don’t know as long as you say you don’t know it.

Most of the time I lack closure; a reason. Without closure, you are perpetually haunted by the separation. Even if the reason is obvious, there is no easy way to move on, despite what people say. I have lost enough to know that when people say “You are better off” or “Just move on”, they do not understand. Most of the pain comes not from the separation itself, but from the chaos created internally.

If you were the one left hanging and clueless after the breakup, then you need to find closure first.

Like time suspended,
a wound unmended–
you and I.

We had no ending,
no said goodbye;

For all my life,
I’ll wonder why.

Reality is we need closure, for every situation, why this person is toxic, why this object is useless, what am I doing wrong?

There will be no closure, no resolution. I lie awake thinking about it and I ache. There can be no greater agony, nothing can be more painful than the not knowing, which will never end.

Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.

What-ifs are for fools. We are here because are meant to be.

Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.

Dear boys, When a girl says ‘I’m Fine’ talk to her until the real truth comes out.

Sometimes, if things are not going so well, I don’t cry. I say maybe it’s meant to be.

I don’t understand. We’re a team. We’re meant to be together. We’re destined to do…

9 times out of 10 your judgement of me is wrong. Stay in your lane. You don’t know me.

Englishmen hate Liberty and Equality too much to understand them. But every Englishman loves a pedigree.

It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.

Being quiet does not mean passivity. It means being more tolerant, understanding, and focused.
