Understood

Famous quotes containing the word understood:

    The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.
    Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
    George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)

    I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
