Quote by Margaret Atwood

We understand more than we know.

We understand more than we know.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that our understanding of something extends beyond our conscious knowledge. It suggests that sometimes we may possess a deeper understanding, intuition, or innate knowledge about certain things that is not easily expressed or articulated. Our subconscious mind may have absorbed information and drawn conclusions that go beyond our conscious awareness. It emphasizes that there is often more to our comprehension and interpretation of the world than what can be explicitly explained.
