Understanding is the bridge between two minds

About This Quote

The word "understanding" is a word that has two meanings. "Understanding" can be used to mean "to see" or "to know." The word is often used to mean the latter. The idea that understanding is a bridge between two minds, or that you understand someone when you know them, is one of the most common misunderstandings of the English language. Words are not bridges between people’s minds, they are ideas in someone's mind.
