The more I know, the less I understand.”

“I've been learning to live without you now

The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again.”

“Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more.”

“I must learn more about these people―try to understand them, put myself in their place. No, instead I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is.”

“Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
