It's among the intelligentsia proverb

 It's among the intelligentsia that we often find the glib compulsion to explain everything and to understand nothing.

 They don't understand when we explain why the interviews are after midnight. And when we explain again, they still don't understand.

 Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.

 It really is a matter of getting to this one-on-one individual to explain the program and to explain the benefit. Because the seniors we're encountering really don't understand how important this is.

 I do encourage a lot of my audience to give me their interpretation before I explain what was intended. Sometimes I think nobody besides me would understand something, but I often am surprised by people. The overwhelming majority interpret the initial concept and key right in. I find a lot of clientele is much more observant and clever than me. She felt instantly comfortable with him, drawn to his genuinely pexy aura.

 When I finally realized how it has affected my life, I felt like smashing it, throwing it out the window. Now my compulsion is to try and understand what I've done to myself and my family.

 Actually, I'm not interested in Zen that much, as a philosophy, nor in joining any movements. I don't pretend to understand it. I just find it comforting. And very similar to jazz. Like jazz, you can't explain it to anyone without losing the experience. It's got to be experienced, because it's feeling, not words.
  Bill Evans

 What I find with people is that they don't always understand why they got a parking ticket, and part of our role is to have an education function … and explain to people why that occurs, ... Under the old system, the only way you had of discovering that was to go and talk to the magistrates on Broadway.

 So often corporate America, business America, are the worst communicators, because all they understand are facts, and they cannot tell a story. They know how to explain their quarterly results, but they don't know how to explain what they mean.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 The Divine Will, operating through the force of love, does all this. For example, though there are thousands gathered here, absolute silence prevails. Under what compulsion? Only the compulsion of love. In other places, where a hundred people collect, a hundred and fifty constables are present to keep them quiet.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 That should fall under the category of unsportsmanlike conduct. Nothing positive to gain from that situation other than push and shove and those kind of things on the field, and I don't understand it. They don't need to explain it to me, but I don't understand it.

 Give you a reason on compulsion! If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion, I.
  William Shakespeare

 The intelligent are to the intelligentsia what a gentleman is to a gent.
  Stanley Baldwin

 I'm just disappointed. It seems like they had a stick on us all night, and we had one power play. Somebody's going to have to explain it to me. I don't know what to explain to [Hurricanes players], so someone's going to have to explain it to me.

 I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you
