Misinterpretation Quotes By Anonymous

After Marx died, Engels denied that Marx had said that 'the economic element is the only determining one'. He and Marx, he conceded, were partly to blame for this misinterpretation, for they had emphasized the economic side in opposition to those who rejected it altogether. — Anonymous

Misinterpretation Quotes By Ravi Zacharias

This is why Jesus challenged the notion that more evidence would have generated more faith. George Macdonald said years ago that to give truth to him who does not love the truth is to only give more reasons for misinterpretation. — Ravi Zacharias

Misinterpretation Quotes By Huey Lewis

I'm happy to be stuck with you. — Huey Lewis

Misinterpretation Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

I have both the violent turbulence of the storm and the quiet promises of God in the storm. And what I must work to remember is that something is not necessarily stronger simply because it's louder. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Misinterpretation Quotes By Michel De Montaigne

To an atheist all writings tend to atheism: he corrupts the most innocent matter with his own venom. — Michel De Montaigne

Misinterpretation Quotes By Kathleen Kelley Reardon

The ways we communicate convey meaning. To the extent that a boss sees a woman subordinate's actions as indicative of nurturance and kindness but not of assertiveness and leadership capability, he is likely to treat her ideas as not deserving of attention and fail to seriously consider her for promotion as well. If his misinterpretation of her communication style is not brought to his attention, she is denied access to senior levels. — Kathleen Kelley Reardon

Misinterpretation Quotes By Vera Nazarian

People who are too optimistic seem annoying. This is an unfortunate misinterpretation of what an optimist really is.
An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that's out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist.
An idealist focuses only on the best aspects of all things (sometimes in detriment to reality); an optimist strives to find an effective solution. A pessimist sees limited or no choices in dark times; an optimist makes choices.
When bobbing for apples, an idealist endlessly reaches for the best apple, a pessimist settles for the first one within reach, while an optimist drains the barrel, fishes out all the apples and makes pie.
Annoying? Yes. But, oh-so tasty! — Vera Nazarian

Misinterpretation Quotes By Zenju Earthlyn Manuel

But if we were to simply walk past the fires of racism, sexism, and so on because illusions of separation exist within them, we may well be walking past one of the widest gateways to enlightenment. It is a misinterpretation to suppose that attending to the fires of our existence cannot lead us to experience the waters of peace. Profundity in fact resides in what we see in the world. Spiritual awakening arrives from our ordinary lives, our everyday struggles with each other. It may even erupt from the fear and rage that we tiptoe around. The challenges of race, sexuality, and gender are the very things that the spiritual path to awakening requires us to tend to as aspirants to peace. — Zenju Earthlyn Manuel

Misinterpretation Quotes By Anna Maria Chavez

What gets posted online is not short term, and is open for easy misinterpretation. Messages and pictures spread faster through the Internet than they ever could by word of mouth. — Anna Maria Chavez

Misinterpretation Quotes By Victor Hugo

God delivers over to men his visible will in events, an obscure text written in a mysterious tongue. Men immediately make translations of it; translations hasty, incorrect, full of errors, of gaps, and of nonsense. Very few minds comprehend the divine language. The most sagacious, the calmest, the most profound, decipher slowly, and when they arrive with their text, the task has long been completed; there are already twenty translations on the public place. From each remaining springs a party, and from each misinterpretation a faction; and each party thinks that it alone has the true text, and each faction thinks that it possesses the light. — Victor Hugo

Misinterpretation Quotes By Ashley Judd

The way things happen on social media is so abusive and everyone needs to take personal responsibility for what they write and not allowing this misinterpretation and shaming culture on social media to persist. — Ashley Judd

Misinterpretation Quotes By Anthony Burgess

The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to repudiate: written a quarter of a century ago, a jeu d'esprit knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence. The film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me till I die. I should not have written the book because of this danger of misinterpretation. — Anthony Burgess

Misinterpretation Quotes By Simone Weil

Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate. That is why it is a complete misinterpretation to apply to the Church the words 'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three. — Simone Weil

Misinterpretation Quotes By Dolly Parton

Islands in the streams, that is what we are. — Dolly Parton

Misinterpretation Quotes By Kelly Moran

This whole conversation was turning into a twisted version of Abbot & Costello's Who's on First. — Kelly Moran

Misinterpretation Quotes By Debasish Mridha

There is no stress. It is a misinterpretation of a situation. Just change your perception and stress will melt away. — Debasish Mridha

Misinterpretation Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

The text has disappeared under the interpretation. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Misinterpretation Quotes By Titus Lucretius Carus

Epicureanism was a philosophy that brought peace and quiet rather than inspiration and exhilaration; based on a theory of the exclusive validity of sense perception and on an ethical doctrine that pleasure was the criterion of the good, it lent itself not only to a dull and flat dialectic but also to gross misinterpretation. Although, — Titus Lucretius Carus

Misinterpretation Quotes By Rod Serling

I'm frequently surprised, sometimes bugged off, and sometimes happy, depending on the actor. It's a fact of life that just as often as not an actor can breathe life into a line as he can destroy it by misinterpretation, and I've been blessed frequently by having good actors. — Rod Serling

Misinterpretation Quotes By Fernando Pessoa

Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self.
The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words. — Fernando Pessoa

Misinterpretation Quotes By Michael Matthews

How can you gain a full understanding of a subject when you don't understand the words used to explain it?
Well, that's why words are the biggest hidden barrier to understanding that almost everyone completely overlooks.
Simply put, if you have misunderstandings about the words being used to communicate specific concepts, you will not duplicate the communications exactly - you will reach your own distorted conclusions due to misinterpretation. — Michael Matthews

Misinterpretation Quotes By Dave Eggers

Eliminate lobbyists. Eliminate polls. It might even eliminate Congress. If we can know the will of the people at any time, without filter, without misinterpretation or bastardization, wouldn't it eliminate much of Washington? — Dave Eggers

Misinterpretation Quotes By Anna Kendrick

I feel like what I say on Twitter has actually a lower rate of misinterpretation than what I say on interviews because I'm just kind of rambling on interviews, and I'm just talking, talking and talking. — Anna Kendrick

Misinterpretation Quotes By Tariq Ramadan

We need to acknowledge that there is a real issue with how the Scriptures are being interpreted. Whenever I am told that terrorists are not Muslim, I systematically reply that they actually are, and they cannot be marginalised, the same way they are marginalising other Muslim people. Scriptures are quoted even though their interpretations are twisted. In the face of misinterpretation the only way out would be using another interpretation of the Scriptures. — Tariq Ramadan

Misinterpretation Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Reality is perceptual misinterpretation. To change reality, change your perception. — Debasish Mridha

Misinterpretation Quotes By Alvin Adams

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure. — Alvin Adams

Misinterpretation Quotes By Kathleen Huggins

But the overwhelming number of mothers who think they have too little milk have babies who are taking plenty of milk and are gaining weight well. These mothers have based their conclusions on misinformation or a misinterpretation of their babies' behavior. — Kathleen Huggins

Misinterpretation Quotes By Sugar Ray Leonard

Spread your love and fly. — Sugar Ray Leonard

Misinterpretation Quotes By Eric Schlosser

Unlike the hot line frequently depicted in Hollywood films, the new system didn't provide a special telephone for the president to use in an emergency. It relied on Teletype machines that could send text quickly and securely. Written statements were considered easier to translate, more deliberate, and less subject to misinterpretation than verbal ones. Every — Eric Schlosser

Misinterpretation Quotes By Alicia Sixtos

Being Latina means I have culture I guess. We party together, cry together, and cook together. Or at least my family does as much as we can. We know where we're from and we have a certain kind of rhythm and understanding. Togetherness. As I get older it becomes more apparent that there is a community in this industry that is working together to rise up and fight against the misinterpretation of Hispanic and what it means to be a Latino-American nowadays. — Alicia Sixtos

Misinterpretation Quotes By Cindy Sherman

Early in my career, a critic said that I needed to "explain" the irony in my work, suggesting that I needed to add text next to the images to help people understand what I was trying to say. At first I was dismayed that I wasn't making work with a clear enough message. That's when I realized that that was the exact opposite of what I wanted to do - that I wasn't responsible for a misinterpretation of my work, that there should be some ambiguity to it. They either got it, or they didn't. — Cindy Sherman

Misinterpretation Quotes By Sarah Rayner

When merely meeting someone is ridden with angst and open to misinterpretation, is it any wonder she is so hopeless at relationships. — Sarah Rayner

Misinterpretation Quotes By Tehmina Durrani

As Yazid, the tyrant of Karbala, never suffered even from a headache, people believed that he was blessed by Allah. But that was a misinterpretation. In reality, Allah had abandoned him completely. He wanted nothing to do with him. — Tehmina Durrani

Misinterpretation Quotes By Debasish Mridha

I am not pretty, I am not ugly,
I am not true, I am not false,
I am just me,
a reality, a conception not a misinterpretation. — Debasish Mridha

Misinterpretation Quotes By Linda Ronstadt

Don't know much, but I know I love you. — Linda Ronstadt

Misinterpretation Quotes By Tracy Chapman

Renounce all those material things that you gained by exploiting other human beings. — Tracy Chapman

Misinterpretation Quotes By Olivia Sudjic

We rarely get the chance to see things anew. I remember a Latin translation that caused me to fail an exam at school because one of the words, translated for us at the bottom of the page and intended to help, was invalid. I read this to mean false, null, illegal. The opposite of valid. But it was meant to be understood as invalid as in a sick person. It torpedoed my entire translation. Instead of tending to the sick, priests were being accused of fraudulence and neglecting their duties. Even though it didn't match up with the grammar, or the story, I kept on returning to that word to check, and every time I saw it only as I had done already - invalid, null, void. — Olivia Sudjic

Misinterpretation Quotes By Billy Squier

You just stroke me, stroke me. — Billy Squier

Misinterpretation Quotes By Malcolm Forbes

As you get older there shouldn't be anything you won't try. The payoff is that you open up whole new avenues that are fun. It's a misinterpretation of life to live it only in preparation for the next one. To subordinate the one you've got to an indefinite next round is foolish. It's a waste of this life not to live this life. What's next is anybody's guess. — Malcolm Forbes

Misinterpretation Quotes By Lester Del Rey

Misinterpretation is the most deadly of human sins. — Lester Del Rey

Misinterpretation Quotes By Eckhart Tolle

Resentment is the emotion that goes with complaining and the mental labeling of people and adds even more energy to the ego. Resentment means to feel bitter, indignant, aggrieved, or offended. You resent other people's greed, their dishonesty, their lack of integrity, what they are doing, what they did in the past, what they said, what they failed to do, what they should or shouldn't have done. The ego loves it. Instead of overlooking unconsciousness in others, you make it into their identity. Who is doing that? The unconsciousness in you, the ego. Sometimes the "fault" that you perceive in another isn't even there. It is a total misinterpretation, a projection by a mind conditioned to see enemies and to make itself right or superior. At other times, the fault may be there, but by focusing on it, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else, you amplify it. And what you react to in another, you strengthen in yourself. — Eckhart Tolle

Misinterpretation Quotes By Freddy Cannon

She's my Tallahassee lassie down in FLA. — Freddy Cannon

Misinterpretation Quotes By Dionne Warwick

Before I put on my make up, I say a little prayer for you. — Dionne Warwick

Misinterpretation Quotes By Liane Moriarty

If her mother had been observing this interaction, she'd tell Clementine she was wrong, that she needed to keep talking, to say everything that was on her mind, to communicate, to leave no possibility for misinterpretation.

If her father were here, he'd put his finger to his lips and say, "Shh."

Clementine settled for two words.

"I'm sorry," she said. — Liane Moriarty

Misinterpretation Quotes By Taryn Simon

I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation. — Taryn Simon

Misinterpretation Quotes By Debasish Mridha

What you see is not real. It is a misinterpretation of our false perceptions. — Debasish Mridha

Misinterpretation Quotes By Craig Bruce

Silence is a statement that is open to gross misinterpretation. — Craig Bruce

Misinterpretation Quotes By James G. Frazer

The custom of burning a beneficent god is too foreign to later modes of thought to escape misinterpretation. — James G. Frazer

Misinterpretation Quotes By Peter Frampton

I'm in you, you're in me. — Peter Frampton

Misinterpretation Quotes By Michael John Carley

Far too many people on the spectrum spend most of their days with people who carry around memories of, and are often too overwhelmed by incidents of, prior misinterpretation. This is no fun. In travel you can start over, and reinvent yourself. If somehow a relationship gets weird, you can leave and go to the next town, the next block, or whatever the case may be, and try again. — Michael John Carley

Misinterpretation Quotes By George MacDonald

To give truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. — George MacDonald

Misinterpretation Quotes By Joe Frank

Don't pull your love out on me baby. — Joe Frank

Misinterpretation Quotes By Michel Gondry

Misinterpretation leads me to inspiration and creativity because I think my brain is trying to figure out some information that I'm confused about. — Michel Gondry

Misinterpretation Quotes By Bob Marley

Don't shed no tears, no woman, no cry. — Bob Marley

Misinterpretation Quotes By Neil Diamond

Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade. — Neil Diamond

Misinterpretation Quotes By Genesis Rodriguez

I especially want to change the way we as Latinas see our beauty. I feel that there is a misinterpretation of what we're supposed to look like. — Genesis Rodriguez

Misinterpretation Quotes By Olivia Newton-John

Let me hear your body talk. — Olivia Newton-John

Misinterpretation Quotes By Richard L. Brandt

I'd disagree with the characterisations of him as competitive (which I think was just misinterpretation of his ambition) or secretive (which I think is more about wanting to protect his team and his customers). Jeff [Bezos] could much more accurately be described as a naively optimistic geek than a calculating megalomaniac. — Richard L. Brandt
