Quotations for comprehends

Such tricks hath strong imagination,
That, if it would but apprehend some joy,
It comprehends some bringer of that joy;
Or in the night, imagining some fear,
How easy is a bush supposed a bear. [ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream ]

Man never comprehends how anthropomorphic his conceptions are. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]
