- You know what tension is? A tensed man can murder someone or commit suicide. He can go to jail or hang himself. You understand what I mean?

That was a long time ago,
- But perhaps it is time to return to old habits. Ambassador, I don't think you fully understand what Draal is asking of you.
- Bu uzun zaman önceydi.
- Ama belki de eski alışkanlıklara dönme vakti gelmiştir. Büyükelçi, Draal'in size ne sorduğunu tam olarak anladığınızı sanmıyorum.

(Tüm tarih bilgisiyle Alice'in her şeyin ne kadar zaman önce olup bittiğine dair çok berrak bir fikri yoktu.)Bu nedenle tekrar başladı: "Ou est ma chatte?" Fransızca ders kitabındaki ilk cümleydi.
'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
'The only point which I could not quite understand was what use you could make of a hydraulic press in excavating fuller's-earth, which, as I understand, is dug out like gravel from a pit.'

A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important, but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization. Howard Gardner
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding. Isaac Newton
