A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understanding
The use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.
恰当地运用我们的智慧能给我们带来快乐。在这方面，大脑就像肌肉。当我们想得好的时候，我们感觉很好。理解是一种狂喜。
Join me in my quest for a greater understanding of our existence. Join me in my desire for a greater self. Join me as I seek the humility to love and understand my fellow man.
加入我的行列，对我们的存在有更深刻的理解。和我一起渴望一个更伟大的自我。当我谦卑地去爱和理解我的同胞时，请加入我。
It's my first record since my son is old enough to understand and I can't even show it to him. Yes, it's affected me, probably in the opposite of how anyone would have thought.
这是我的第一张唱片，因为我儿子已经懂事了，我甚至不能给他看。是的，它影响了我，可能与人们所想的相反。
If a girl understands your bullshit, sticks through your mistakes, smile even when you've done nothing for her, its obvious she's a keeper. But its also obvious you don't deserve her.

Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.

For what the horse does under compulsion, as Simon also observes, is done without understanding; and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer.
因为马被迫所作的，正如西门所见，都是无知的。它也没有什么美，就像一个人鞭打一个跳舞的人一样。
What we really need to be understanding is that all of these things matter and they all stem from the fact that certain people live with power and authority and they want to maintain it.

The super power that I would choose would be compassion. Because that's what I think it takes to make it through life-an understanding, a give and take. It saves an awful lot of resentment.

Love was not in it for me at first. I dated guys because of the way they looked. And then I began to learn that it's what's inside that counts. Love to me now is understanding. It's giving.
一开始我并不爱它。我和男生约会是因为他们的长相。然后我开始意识到内在才是最重要的。现在对我来说，爱就是理解。这是给予。
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely -- the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears -- when you give your whole attention to it.
当我们谈论理解的时候，它肯定只发生在大脑完全倾听的时候——大脑是你的心，是你的神经，是你的耳朵——当你全神贯注于它的时候。

Shakespeare knew the human mind, and its most minute and intimate workings, and he never introduces a word, or a thought, in vain or out of place; if we do not understand him, it is our own fault.
莎士比亚了解人类的思想，以及它最细微、最密切的活动，他从来没有徒劳地或不合时宜地引入一个词或一个想法;如果我们不了解他，那是我们自己的错。

Love is more than just a feeling: it's a process requiring continual attention. Loving well takes laughter, loyalty, and wanting more to be able to say, "I understand" than to hear, "You're right."
