“Understanding is but the sum of misunderstandings.”

“Mutual understanding is of critical importance. There are those who say that ‘understanding’ is merely the sum total of our misunderstandings”

“On the flip side of everything we think we absolutely have pegged lurks an equal amount of the unknown. Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstandings.”

“If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation.”

“The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.”

“The world's full of groundless ill will. I'll never understand it, you'll never understand it, but it exists all the same.”

“Life: I'll never understand it.”
