Those who understand only what can be explained understand very little.

They are deceptively simple. I admit that. But for me, all my life I try to simplify things. As a child in school, things were very hard for me to understand often, and I developed a knack, I think. I developed a process to simplify things so I would understand them.

Our understanding is correlative to our perception.

It always takes awfully long time to understand unbelievably simple things.

Large skepticism leads to large understanding. Small skepticism leads to small understanding. No skepticism leads to no understanding.

It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot.

From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.

Simplicity is the outcome of technical subtlety. It is the goal, not the starting point.

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.

I want to block some common misunderstandings about 'understanding': In many of these discussions one finds a lot of fancy footwork about the word 'understanding.'
