I've always enjoyed Oscar Wilde's remark about the drapes. But Hegel's last words are so fitting:
"Only one man ever understood me. And he really didn't understand me."
Hegel is the hardest philosopher of all time to understand. His writing is a hundred times more obscure and reference filled than the worst of my obscure quotations. And I admit I can be awful.
My professor studied for years in Germany, and assured us it was NOT clearer in German.
