Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another’s point of view.
Who’s the man that says that we’re all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding?
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don’t degrade me into the position of giving you useful information.
