Between our birth and death we may touch understanding As a moth brushes a window with its wing.
Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity.
For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning the study of death - the only certainty that life holds for us - must be central for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life.
The need to understand prescription information can literally be a matter of life and death.
Death obsesses me yes it does. I can't really understand why it doesn't obsess everyone - I think it does really I'm just a little more out about it.
Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger envy and death.
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage don't move to California.
For those who seek to understand it death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.
I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it I order a massage and it goes away.
I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It's needing people who understand your work schedule.
I don't understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I'm interested in someone and I don't want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I'm not interested in that person.
I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is what romance is and what a relationship means.
I think people like to think I'm in some way financially dependent on my family - on my dad - but the fact of the matter is I've been emancipated from my father since I was 14 years old. That's something people don't know or understand.
As a brother and sister our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn't understand it and would try to talk him out of it.
My dad doesn't get any of my jokes. He laughs at them but he doesn't understand them. He's just laughing because people around him are laughing.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
OK so my parents were married in 1955 and my mom knew my dad was gay and my dad knew he was gay and so I was like 'Why in the heck did you get married?' Like what was going on? What was that time? It's like this crazy paradox that my whole life is based on or my family's based on. So I spent a lot of time trying to understand '55.
You know my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now I understand why. If I do my job well I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

I want to encourage our people to educate our people to have the courage to understand and fight for their rights.
We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it.
Courage is just fear plus prayers plus understanding.
I know what real courage is and I understand true compassion.
