Cliff was a very smart guy, a reader, very eloquent. I just don't understand why he went, and not one of us.

Never explain- your reader is as smart as you. Your reader is not just any reader, but is the rare one with ears in his head.
Basil Bunting
“I have this theory about smart people. If you’re smart, you’re either the only person in your family who’s smart, or everybody in the family is smart. No in-between.”
I considered this. “I think I come from the everybody’s smart category. But they don’t apply their smarts to… larger picture pursuits. That includes me.”Douglas Coupland
I couldn't understand the language, I couldn't understand a word in the whole book, but it was somehow too eloquent to use for a fire.
William Saroyan
Few authors understand themselves, and a proper reader must not only understand his author but also be able to see beyond him.
Johann Georg Hamann
We cannot understand without wanting to understand, that is, without wanting to let something be said. It would be an inadmissible abstraction to contend that we must first have achieved a contemporaneousness with the author or the original reader by means of a reconstruction of his historical horizon before we could begin to grasp the meaning of what is said. A kind of anticipation of meaning guides the effort to understand from the very beginning.
