Widely Understood

Famous quotes containing the words widely and/or understood:

“To have no son, no wife,
No house or land still seemed quite natural.
Only a numbness registered the shock
Of finding out how much had gone of life,
How widely from the others.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Posthumous men—myself, for example—are not as well understood as timely ones, but we are listened to better. More precisely: we are never understood—hence our authority.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
