A simple thing like being friendly to people will create more understanding than all the poetry in the world.

There is something almost sacrilegious in wanting to understand people. One should simply love them.

You don't need to understand the people you love. To be near them and love them is enough.

You don't have to understand life to live or love to love. You do it, that's all.

The thing intellectuals understand least is themselves.

The thing the mind understands least is itself.

The world we see is beyond our understanding but not beyond our love.
