Top Nobody Understands Quotes

Nobody Understands Quotes By William Gibson

You know what your trouble is? You're the kind who
always reads the handbook. Anything people build,
any kind of technology, it's going to have some specific
purpose. It's for doing something that somebody already
understands. But if it's new technology, it'll open
areas nobody's ever thought of before. You read the manual,
man, and you won't play around with it, not the same way.
And you get all funny when somebody else uses it to do
something you never thought of. — William Gibson

Nobody Understands Quotes By Orson Scott Card

What a laugh, though. To think that one human being could ever really know another. You could get used to each other, get so habituated that you could speak their words right along with them, but you never knew why other people said what they said or did what they did, because they never even knew themselves. Nobody understands anybody.
And yet somehow we live together, mostly in peace, and get things done with a high enough success rate that people keep trying. Human beings get married and a lot of marriages work, and they have children and most of them grow up to be decent people, and they have schools and businesses and factories and farms that have results at some level of acceptability - all without having a clue what's going on inside anybody's head.
Muddling through, that's what human beings do.
that was the part of being human that Bean hated the most. — Orson Scott Card

Nobody Understands Quotes By Rihanna

It's amazing how lonely you can feel and like nobody understands ... The moment you are vulnerable, someone always reaches out ... .They go through the same things. I want them to feel comfortable knowing that I have flaws as wells. I want them to know those flaws. I'm afraid of the pedestal ... I want to be a peer to my fans — Rihanna

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jim Bishop

Nobody understands anyone 18, including those who are 18. — Jim Bishop

Nobody Understands Quotes By Mercedes McCambridge

Nobody understands that by the time the addiction has set in the alcoholic is mandated to drink ... he cannot not drink! Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, 'Jiminy Cricket, I feel sensational! My life is really in great shape! I think I'll become an alcoholic!' I firmly believe that when a shaking-to-pieces alcoholic says he needs a drink or he will die, he means it. — Mercedes McCambridge

Nobody Understands Quotes By Hunter S. Thompson

History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of "history" it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time - and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened. — Hunter S. Thompson

Nobody Understands Quotes By Laurie Halse Anderson

Adrenaline kicks you in when you're starving. That's what nobody understands. Except for being hungry and cold, most of the time I feel like I can do anything. It gives me superhuman powers of smell and hearing. I can see what people are thinking, stay two steps ahead of them. I do enough homework to stay off the radar. Every night I climb thousands of steps into the sky to make me so exhausted that when I fall into bed, I don't notice Cassie. Then suddenly it's morning and I leap on the hamster wheel and it starts all over again. — Laurie Halse Anderson

Nobody Understands Quotes By Lester Bangs

The twin concepts of nihilism and the antihero have had it. What began with The Wild One and James "nobody understands me" Dean, ran with increasing vehement negativism up through the Stones and Velvets and Iggy ... [I]t may be time, in spite of all indications to the contrary from the exterior society, to begin thinking in terms of heroes again, of love instead of hate, of energy instead of violence, of strength instead of cruelty, of action instead of reaction. — Lester Bangs

Nobody Understands Quotes By Chester Bennington

Some kids are so depressed at home and with how people treat them in school that they cut themselves. This happens all over the world - kids who don't want to kill themselves, but nobody understands how much they hurt, so they cut themselves with razor blades. — Chester Bennington

Nobody Understands Quotes By Haruki Murakami

The part at the forefront is the Will, and the part that backs up the forefront is the Gains. When people talk about the Boss, they make an issue only out of his Gains. And after the Boss dies, it will be only his Gains that people will clamor for a share of. Nobody wants the Will, because no one understands it. — Haruki Murakami

Nobody Understands Quotes By Dave Barry

Nobody understands how hard it is, being a captain. — Dave Barry

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jim Morrison

Nobody understands you better than yourself, but if someone tries to do it is because he loves you. — Jim Morrison

Nobody Understands Quotes By Raphael

Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket! — Raphael

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jack Cafferty

It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current President ... Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been ... I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him. — Jack Cafferty

Nobody Understands Quotes By Helen Brown

The past five years had informed me about human sorrow. While no two griefs are the same, nobody understands suffering like those who've been there. — Helen Brown

Nobody Understands Quotes By Laurence J. Peter

Nobody understands how the incessant pressure from above and the incurable incompetence below make it utterly impossible for me to do an adequate job and keep a clean desk. — Laurence J. Peter

Nobody Understands Quotes By Lew Welch

Step out onto the Planet. Draw a circle a hundred feet round. Inside the circle are 300 things nobody understands, and, maybe nobody's ever really seen. How many can you find? — Lew Welch

Nobody Understands Quotes By Philip K. Dick

Am I the only one who knows? I'll bet I am; nobody else really understands Grasshopper but me - they just imagine they do. — Philip K. Dick

Nobody Understands Quotes By Hideki Yukawa

Suppose there is something which a person cannot understand. He happens to notice the similarity of this something to some other thing which he understands quite well. By comparing them he may come to understand the thing which he could not understand up to that moment. If his understanding turns out to be appropriate and nobody else has ever come to such an understanding, he can claim that his thinking was really creative. — Hideki Yukawa

Nobody Understands Quotes By SARK

Nobody tells us as little girls that we may fall in love and have moments of hating our beloved, or have ridiculous arguments at 2 AM over something that neither person understands. — SARK

Nobody Understands Quotes By Erik Christian Haugaard

Who understands war: the solders? the homeless ones? Mussolini? Or the leaders of the English and the Americans? No, nobody understands war, they only think they do. Maybe the earth that drinks up the blood understands it and says: How foolish is man. Of all the animals that lives upon me, he is the cleverest and the most foolish. — Erik Christian Haugaard

Nobody Understands Quotes By Ashlee Vance

Watson continued: Elon is brilliant. He's involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction. He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy. He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It's amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years. I don't want to be the person who ever has to compete with Elon. You might as well leave the business and find something else fun to do. He will outmaneuver you, outthink you, and out-execute you. — Ashlee Vance

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jack Kerouac

The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
Rocks dont see it.
Bless and sit down.
Forgive and forget.
Practice kindness all day to everybody
and you will realize you're already
in heaven now.
That's the story.
That's the message.
Nobody understands it,
nobody listens, they're
all running around like chickens with heads cut
off. I will try to teach it but it will
be in vain, s'why I'll
end up in a shack
praying and being
cool and singing
by my woodstove
making pancakes. — Jack Kerouac

Nobody Understands Quotes By Richard Feynman

Nobody understands the world they're in, but some people are better off at it than others. — Richard Feynman

Nobody Understands Quotes By Amanda Hocking

Fine. Whatever. I don't. Nobody understands your pain, Mae. Because it is so unique! Nobody's ever loved something so much they would do anything to save it, except for you, Mae. You cornered that market! — Amanda Hocking

Nobody Understands Quotes By Ben Bernanke

Nobody really understands gold prices and I don't pretend to understand them either, — Ben Bernanke

Nobody Understands Quotes By Townes Van Zandt

I'd like to write some songs that are so good that nobody understands them. Not even myself. — Townes Van Zandt

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jodi Picoult

What would you like to be?" Nina asks.
Nathaniel tosses his magical tablecloth. "A superhero," he says. "A new one."
Caleb is sure they could muster up Superman on short notice. "What's wrong with the old ones?"
Everything it turns out. Nathaniel doesn't like Superman because he can be felled by Kryptonite. Green Lantern's ring doesn't work on anything yellow. The Incredible Hulk is too stupid. Even Captain Marvel runs the risk of being tricked into saying the word Shazam! and turning himself back into young Billy Batson.
"How about Ironman?" Caleb suggests.
Nathaniel shakes his head. "He could rust."
"Aquaman?"
"Needs water."
"Nathaniel," Nina says gently, "nobody's perfect."
"But they are supposed to be." Nathaniel explains, an d Caleb understands. Tonight, Nathaniel needs to be invincible. — Jodi Picoult

Nobody Understands Quotes By Northrop Frye

The bedrock of doubt is the total nothingness of death. Death is a leveler, not because everybody dies, but because nobody understands what death means. — Northrop Frye

Nobody Understands Quotes By J.D. Salinger

It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to. — J.D. Salinger

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jon Katz

The relationship between a dog and a human is always complicated. The two know each other in a way nobody else quite understands, a connection shrouded in personal history, temperament, experience, instinct, and love. — Jon Katz

Nobody Understands Quotes By Sarah Michelle Gellar

The thing about Buffy and Spike is they understand each other on a level that nobody else understands her. — Sarah Michelle Gellar

Nobody Understands Quotes By Robert Lanza

I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will go "down the drain" into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. - Nobel physicist Richard Feynman — Robert Lanza

Nobody Understands Quotes By Life Lessons

Just because nobody understands you.....doesn't mean that you're deep. — Life Lessons

Nobody Understands Quotes By James K. Morrow

Let's admit it, people: nobody understands consciousness. Psychology hasn't had a Newton yet. — James K. Morrow

Nobody Understands Quotes By G.K. Chesterton

Nobody understands the nature of the Church, or the ringing note of the creed descending from antiquity, who does not realize that the whole world once very nearly died of broadmindedness and the brotherhood of all religions. — G.K. Chesterton

Nobody Understands Quotes By Haruki Murakami

Where Watanabe and I are alike is we don't give a damn if nobody understands us ... That's what makes us different from everybody else. They're all worried about whether the people around them understand them. But not me, and not Watanabe. We just don't give a damn. Self and others are separate. — Haruki Murakami

Nobody Understands Quotes By Stephen Richards

Mad people are very emotionally orientated! They have complex feelings, they're easily upset, but are also easy to please! Most mad people have lonely lives, as nobody understands them. So they become "Lost Souls." They dream a lot. Go within their minds to search - some will turn strange, become dangerous. So a madman is created! His world becomes a mission. — Stephen Richards

Nobody Understands Quotes By Richard P. Feynman

While I am describing to you how Nature works, you won't understand why Nature works that way. But you see, nobody understands that. — Richard P. Feynman

Nobody Understands Quotes By P.T. Barnum

No man has a right to expect to succeed in life unless he understands his business, and nobody can understand his business thoroughly unless he learns it by personal application and experience. — P.T. Barnum

Nobody Understands Quotes By Elise Icten

Wake up, wake up!' He said to me
'No, I'm still sleepy,
do not disturb me'
Wake up me child, see the beauty

Don't cry, wipe your tears, He said to me
'No, I'm so lonely,
Nobody understands me'
Don't cry my child, embrace the beauty

Don't panic, be calm, He said to me
'No, you don't understand,
I need to earn money'
Don't struggle my child, connect to the beauty

Don't blame or attach, He said to me
'How can I be loving,
When they hurt me?'
Don't retaliate my child, show them the beauty

Don't withhold your love, He said to me
'How can I give Father
When they only take from me?'
Don't fear my child, I replenish the beauty — Elise Icten

Nobody Understands Quotes By Philip Pullman

I seemed to have spent the whole time either reading, which I loved, or laughing, which I love, or fooling about, which I loved. There was the usual teenage angst: "Nobody understands me" and "I'm the only genius in the world" and all that stuff. But that didn't get very deep. — Philip Pullman

Nobody Understands Quotes By Tegan Quin

When I wrote this song I felt pretty unoriginal because everybody writes love songs, and everybody feels like their love is the most important and when their love ends and they get their heart broken, that nobody understands. And ... that's ridiculous, but so am I. — Tegan Quin

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jack Nicholson

There's probably no one who understands Method acting better academically than I do, or actually uses it more in his work. But it's funny - nobody really sees that. It's perception versus reality, I suppose. — Jack Nicholson

Nobody Understands Quotes By Saul Bass

I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don't give a damn whether the client understands that that's worth anything, or that the client thinks it's worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares. — Saul Bass

Nobody Understands Quotes By G.I. Gurdjieff

One may say that evil does not exist for subjective man at all, that there exist only different conceptions of good. Nobody ever does anything deliberately in the interests of evil, for the sake of evil. Everybody acts in the interests of good, as he understands it. But everybody understands it in a different way. Consequently men drown, slay, and kill one another in the interests of good. — G.I. Gurdjieff

Nobody Understands Quotes By Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

And we went our separate ways without having understood each other. As in this world nobody understands the other easily. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Nobody Understands Quotes By Agatha Christie

Nobody understands the art of living nowadays, ... Catching trains, making appointments, fixing times for everything - all nonsense. Get up with the sun I say, have your meals when you feel like it, and never tie yourself to a time or a date. I could teach people how to live if they would listen to me. — Agatha Christie

Nobody Understands Quotes By William Golding

But nobody else understands about the fire. If someone threw you a rope when you were drowning. If a doctor said take this because if you don't take you'll die - you would, wouldn't you? — William Golding

Nobody Understands Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

We may explain faith till nobody understands it. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jincy Willett

I spent my next hour reshelving, and the next thirty minutes straightening out the Mc's and Mac's. Nobody on God's earth understands the Mc/Mac principle anymore. In order to do that, you have to be willing to think about something other than your genitals for a full minute. — Jincy Willett

Nobody Understands Quotes By Timothy Keller

Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly. — Timothy Keller

Nobody Understands Quotes By Chuck Wendig

Maybe that's the problem with generations. You start to forget what it was like when you were like them, so they become your enemy and you become theirs and nobody understands each other. Then you die and they become you and finally, finally they understand, but by then it's too late. — Chuck Wendig

Nobody Understands Quotes By Iggy Pop

Nobody understands me, I'm really sensitive. — Iggy Pop

Nobody Understands Quotes By Ayn Rand

What's he so damn arrogant about? Just because he made that fortune himself? Does he have to be such a damn snob just because he came from Hell's Kitchen? It isn't other people's fault if they weren't lucky enough to be born in Hell's Kitchen to rise out of! Nobody understands what a terrible handicap it is to be born rich. Because people just take for granted that because you were born that way you'd just be no good if you weren't. What I mean is if I'd had Gail Wynand's breaks, I'd be twice as rich as he is by now and three times as famous. But he's so conceited he doesn't realize this at all! — Ayn Rand

Nobody Understands Quotes By T. Greenwood

But Ruby understands now, this inclination. This desire to slip away. To seclude herself. She understands how it feels to be an island, separate from everyone else, surrounded by nothing but water. Even when she is with people (at school, at Izzy's house, at the pool), she is aware of how alone she is. Nobody can reach her, not really. She and her mother are more similar than different, but she doesn't know how to tell her mom this. What words might explain she understands. — T. Greenwood

Nobody Understands Quotes By C. JoyBell C.

I think that there are definitely a handful of women in the world that were born of grace, so miraculously mild and terribly true ... and nobody understands them. They end up trying to make men love them, when that's the last thing they should be trying to do! A diamond belongs to those who can recognise what it is, not to those who need convincing. Yes, only a few know what a diamond looks and feels like, but, what's the rush anyway? — C. JoyBell C.

Nobody Understands Quotes By Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Nothing ever really ends. That's the horrible part of being in the short-story business - you have to be a real expert on ends. Nothing in real life ends. 'Millicent at last understands.' Nobody ever understands. — Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Nobody Understands Quotes By Timothy Leary

Nobody ever understands what a pioneer is doing. — Timothy Leary

Nobody Understands Quotes By Franz Schubert

Nobody understands another's sorrow, and nobody another's joy. — Franz Schubert

Nobody Understands Quotes By Helen Grace Carlisle

And I thought how there were so many things in life. There was betrayal and disease and murder, and there was devotion and love and pity. And I did not want to die.No, I couldn't understand and I thought how nobody understands and that is why it is so wonderful.And I had my struggle and I had my suffering and I was rich with struggle and rich with suffering for I was rich with life . — Helen Grace Carlisle

Nobody Understands Quotes By Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Allow intelligent design into science textbooks, lecture halls, and laboratories, and the cost to the frontier of scientific discovery - the frontier that drives the economies of the future - would be incalculable. I don't want students who could make the next major breakthrough in renewable energy sources or space travel to have been taught that anything they don't understand, and that nobody yet understands, is divinely constructed and therefore beyond their intellectual capacity. The day that happens, Americans will just sit in awe of what we don't understand, while we watch the rest of the world boldly go where no mortal has gone before. — Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Nobody Understands Quotes By Emma Abdullah

I know it is not fair to expect love from someone who hardly knows you at all. I know that we are too young to understand and too old to understand and that perhaps nobody understands at all. I know that things happen for reasons we cannot comprehend and yet sometimes I really wish we could comprehend. I wish the world was not so dark. Sometimes it felt like somebody had turned off the lights and we were all suffocating in the darkness. — Emma Abdullah

Nobody Understands Quotes By E. E. Cummings

Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
-excerpt of #35 from 100 Selected Poems — E. E. Cummings

Nobody Understands Quotes By Andre Benjamin

It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you. — Andre Benjamin

Nobody Understands Quotes By Stephen Hawking

Feynman once wrote, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. — Stephen Hawking

Nobody Understands Quotes By Carlo M. Cipolla

Nobody knows, understands or can possibly explain why that preposterous creature does what he does. In fact there is no explanation - or better there is only one explanation: the person in question is stupid. — Carlo M. Cipolla

Nobody Understands Quotes By Jeffrey Sachs

Senior development specialists in the Treasury can be counted on one hand. America's government is not even aware of the gap between its commitments and action, because almost nobody in authority understands the actions that would be needed to meet the commitments. — Jeffrey Sachs

Nobody Understands Quotes By Audrey Tautou

I understand that nobody understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not. — Audrey Tautou

Nobody Understands Quotes By Sean Carroll

In 1965, physicist Richard Feynman opined, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics," and the sentiment is equally applicable today. — Sean Carroll

Nobody Understands Quotes By Albert Einstein

Everyone likes me, yet nobody understands me. — Albert Einstein
