A novel can grant humanity even to those who act inhumanely, and by making men and women of monsters, it can offer not only a ground-level view of a particular conflict, but a descent into the substratum of human nature capable of the incomprehensible.

Anthony Marra

Journalists, whose job is to pull back and tell dramatic stories that bring power into focus, find it impossible because things like economic theory are both incomprehensible and, above all, boring. The same is true of 'management science.'

Adam Curtis

Science Power Men

Scotland is a picturesque country where the people are friendly yet completely incomprehensible. Also, the national delicacy is a sheep's stomach filled with its liver, lungs, and heart.

Adam Schlesinger

Art Wit Where

The only time I felt I was different was when one of my friends said, 'I hate reading' and I stared at her like, 'What kind of an alien creature are you?!' Because it was so incomprehensible to me that someone could dislike reading! That really started my desire to help other children love reading and writing.

Adora Svitak

Time Love Art

Alfred A. Knopf

Who Us Terms

In my solitude I have pondered much on the incomprehensible subjects of space, eternity, life and death.

Alfred Russel Wallace

Space Life Death

When you're feeling overtired and stretched too thin, it may seem incomprehensible to squeeze in a little 'me time.' But, the times when you feel like you can't possibly spare a minute for yourself, are likely the times when you need 'me time' the most.

Amy Morin

Time Yourself Yours

A novel can grant humanity even to those who act inhumanely, and by making men and women of monsters, it can offer not only a ground-level view of a particular conflict, but a descent into the substratum of human nature capable of the incomprehensible.

Antonin Artaud

Age True Teeth

When I first discovered for myself the Celtic Twilight and read the earlier poems of Yeats and others, all was entirely incomprehensible to me. I groped through a mist of blurred meanings, stumbled through lines in which every accent seemed to be in the wrong place.

Austin Clarke

Yeats Wrong Which

It is incomprehensible that drug companies still get away with charging Americans twice as much, or more, than citizens of Canada or Europe for the exact same drugs manufactured by the exact same companies.

Bernie Sanders

Zen Wit Way

I think the avant-garde often hides itself in the highly incomprehensible because they are frustrated that the real world is so boring.

Bjarke Ingels

World Van Use

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

Blaise Pascal

God T Should

The more you study quantum mechanics, the more crazy and incomprehensible it becomes. You truly do need a Ph.D. in very high level math and science to understand it at a high, high level.

Blake Crouch

Science You Very

To reasoned people, almost everything is understandable, but evil is forever incomprehensible.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Very Understandable Understand

It's incomprehensible for me to hear another dude talk about another's dude's pockets and have that matter and argue about that.

Damon Dash

Talk T Pockets

After a crisis we tell ourselves we understand why it happened and maintain the illusion that the world is understandable. In fact, we should accept the world is incomprehensible much of the time.

Daniel Kahneman

Time World Why

It was incomprehensible to me that someone who had never seen me before, someone who knew absolutely nothing about me, would want to inflict pain upon me for no other reason than the color of my skin.

Daryl Davis

Would Who Want

Nothing but a miracle of sovereign mercy could have arrested and saved me from eternal perdition. How I could have so long resisted the entreaties, the prayers, and the tears of my dear parents, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, is, to me, a wonder entirely incomprehensible.

Elijah Parish Lovejoy

Credit card agreements run as long as 30 pages, and it's 30 pages of largely incomprehensible text.

Elizabeth Warren

There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.

Elliot Richardson

All history is incomprehensible without Christ.

Ernest Renan

Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible.

Eugene Ionesco

That's the way it is with poetry: When it is incomprehensible it seems profound, and when you understand it, it is only ridiculous.

Galway Kinnell

Trump's erratic behavior has long been the subject of political criticism, late-night-television jokes, and even speculation about whether it's part of some incomprehensible, multidimensional strategic game. But it's relevant to whether he's fit for the office he holds.

George T. Conway III

Not longer loved or fostered by religion, beauty is lifted from its face as a mask, and its absence exposes features on that face which threaten to become incomprehensible to man.

Hans Urs von Balthasar

The history of apartheid-era South Africa is incredibly sad and at times infuriatingly incomprehensible.

Henry Rollins

Often, I hear my ideas are more incomprehensible than not.

Hidetaka Miyazaki

All human language draws its nature and value from the fact that it both comes from the Word of God and is chosen by God to manifest himself. But this relationship is secret and incomprehensible, beyond the bounds of reason and analysis.

Jacques Ellul

The allegiance of the citizen, in the only sense in which the word can be tolerated in a republic, is due to the law. What idea other men may have of a law higher than the supreme law, I know not. Like the notion of the Stoics concerning Fate, it is perfectly incomprehensible.

James L. Petigru

I think the biggest challenge for Somalia has been the sense that it is a hopeless case of incomprehensible internal conflicts and there is nothing we can do.

Jan Egeland

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.

Jane Austen

A tree is an incomprehensible mystery.

Jim Woodring

For me, it is utterly incomprehensible how people share their private life, from truly confidential and intimate things, indiscriminately with thousands or even millions of people.

Joachim Low

Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.

John Maynard Keynes

My characters make incomprehensible decisions until you stand in their shoes. Then it makes more sense. Life is very rarely black and white, and most people are trying to do their best. I try not to judge.

Jojo Moyes

To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.

Jorge Luis Borges

Today we often think that before we start living a religious life we have first to accept the creedal doctrines and that before one can have any comprehension of the loyalty and trust of faith, one must first force one's mind to accept a host of incomprehensible doctrines. But this is to put the cart before the horse.

Karen Armstrong

I never want to have to ask my husband for money. Never! That's incomprehensible to me. Would he have preferred that I change my name? Probably. But that's OK!

Karen Finerman

The surest method of being incomprehensible or, moreover, to be misunderstood is to use words in their original sense; especially words from the ancient languages.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.

Kevin Kline

Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of a profession.

Kingman Brewster, Jr.

When the Bill of Rights was written, no one owned a MAG5100, 100-round magazine for an M-16. The concept of a mass slaughter carried out over a matter of minutes was incomprehensible.

Kurt Eichenwald

Because the Second Amendment is an incomprehensible mess, because too many lobbyists have argued that it is an absolute protection of actions and items never considered at the time of our nation's founding, and because there is a clear state interest in protecting the lives of its citizens, the words must be removed from the Constitution.

Kurt Eichenwald

The consequence of a world full of nuclear powers to me is so incomprehensible in terms of the dangers that that implies.

Lawrence Eagleburger

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.

Leo Tolstoy

Whatever people in general do not understand, they are always prepared to dislike; the incomprehensible is always the obnoxious.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible.
