“Geometry exist everywhere.It is necessary, however, to have eyes to see it, intelligence to understand it , and spirit to wonder at it.The wild Bedouin sees geometric forms but doesn't understand them ; the Sunni understands them but does not admire them; the artist, finally, perceives the perfection of figures, understands beauty, and admires order and harmony.God was the Great Geometer.He geometrized heaven and earth.”

“It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.”

“I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.”

“One can't understand everything at once, we can't begin with perfection all at once! In order to reach perfection one must begin by being ignorant of a great deal. And if we understand things too quickly, perhaps we shan't understand them thoroughly.”

“There was something formless and perfect before the universe was born...Thus, to know humanity,understand earth.To know earth,understand heaven.To know heaven,understand the Way.To know the Way,understand the great within yourself.”

“I dont understand, but understanding something isnt a prerequisite to feeling it. We dont have to understand things in order to be affected by them.”
