I don’t think people 
understand how stressful 
it is to explain what’s going
on in your head when you
don’t even understand 
it yourself.

to be strong

“Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it, accept and learn from it.”

— Paulo Coelho

“When he looked into her dark eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke – the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert.”

— Cecilia Ahern

“Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we’re gone.”

— Kate Karyus Quinn, Another Little Piece

“Confession is good for the soul, they say. I’d imagine this is true. But my sins were too convoluted. And from the little I understand—too damning.”

— Sara Quin

“I don’t think people understand how stressful it is to explain what’s going on in your head when you don’t even understand it yourself.”

I don’t think you understand

“I don’t think you understand 

how much you meant to me…”

It was the kiss you dream about.

“It was the kiss you dream about. The one that makes you understand what all the hype is about.”

The Metamorphosis

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand 
what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”

Hatsumi Soke

"To learn martial arts, you need people. Martial arts cannot be learned through watching videos and training solo, you must connect with another person to learn, what we do is actually a study of humanness. So through your training, you will actually come to understand your humanity.

This is an extremely important, especially in this age of the internet, where people can get everything without physical contact with others. As a result, we will actually have many people forgetting their humanity, and thus, the meaning of life itself.”

— Bob Dylan

“Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.”

I’ve never really understood the thing with Valentine’s Day.

I’ve never really understood the thing with Valentine’s Day. If you love someone, don’t you love that person all the time? Not more because it is February 14. If I was with someone I would appreciate a gift or a box of chocolates so much more if I didn’t get it on Valentine’s Day.
It just feels so very forced.



And that's why I think Valentines Dag lame, pathetic and unnecessary.

— Colleen Hoover

“Understanding 

a situation doesn’t 

always make it easier.”

— Anatole France

“When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.”

to always be good and kind and loving.

Please don't expect me 
to always be good and kind and loving.
There are times when i will be cold
and thoughtless 
and hard to understand.

— Paulo Coelho

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

— Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

— Andrew Zimmern

“Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.”
