Georg C. Lichtenberg quotesBe wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficulty: elephants and poodles find many things obscure.
Marshall Mcluhan quotesDarkness is to space what silence is to sound, i.e., the interval.
Mae West quotesIt is better to be looked over than overlooked.
Thomas Hardy quotesEverybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honor as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.
Eric Hoffer quotesMore significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle.
William Blake quotesWhat is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
George Eliot quotesThe growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistorical acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
Henry Miller quotesThe great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
Mark Twain quotesObscurity and competence: That is the life that is worth living.
