“I don't understand beauty.”
“I just think of things as beautiful or not. Can't you understand? I don't think of good or bad. Just of beautiful or ugly. I think a lot of nice things are ugly and a lot of nasty things are beautiful.”
“I don't think it is as much a human foible as it is a human curse that we cannot understand the beauty of a thing until it is gone.”
“I don't understand men. I don't even understand what I don't understand about men.”
“I don't understand it, and I don't like what I don't understand.”
“Your sadness is one of the things that makes you beautiful to me. Don't you see that? I understand it. It makes my own sadness less frightening." (Brigan)”
