I think Shakespeare had a lot to contribute with his understanding of the human condition. -- Sharon Gless

Our understanding of Shakespeare already depends largely on the vitality of Renaissance elements in our education. Each man must live in his own generation, as the saying is; but the generations are bound together by the golden links of the great tradition of civilization. -- George Edward Woodberry

I'm an infant with Shakespeare; I'm kind of learning how to walk. I am trying to decipher the code, you know? I do my research. And I get a clear understanding of what the language is. It is a tremendous process I have to go through as I am sure all actors do, finding the gems hidden in his language. -- Ruben Santiago-Hudson
Silence is a virtue in those who are deficient in understanding. -- Dominique Bouhours
There is often grace in silence. But there is always power in understanding. -- Michele Norris
Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, understanding, will war disappear. -- Rajneesh
Meditation is not passive sitting in silence. It is sitting in awareness, free from distraction, and realizing the clear understanding that arises from concentration. -- Nhat Hanh
Silence is the demon's trap, and the more one is silenced, the more terrible the demon; but silence is also the divinity's mutual understanding with the single individual. -- Soren Kierkegaard
