Quotes using "grasp" -- uhhh????

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp - or what's a heaven for?
Robert Browning, English poet (1812 - 1889)

Grasp the subject, the words will follow.
Cato the Elder, Roman orator & politician (234 BC - 149 BC)

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Aesop, The Dog and the Shadow, Greek slave & fable author (620 BC - 560 BC)

We never fully grasp the import of any true statement until we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would be.
William James, US Pragmatist philosopher & psychologist (1842 - 1910)

I think that you are trying to say 'Out Kicking Your Coverage" or "Punching Above Your Weight," both of which are usually used when a guy is with a girl way too hot for him.
