Obscurity Quotes

Therefore if we realize that our nature and destiny are what they should be, we will have no anxiety and will be at ease with ourselves in the face of life or death, prominence or obscurity, or an infinite amount of changes and variations, and will be in accord with principle Picture Quote #1

I do not enjoy the promotional side of being a writer, to be blunt about it. Even with the little amount that is expected of me, which is nothing compared to the life of an artist. Writers can live in obscurity and come out of the woodwork with a book, then go back in. Artists don’t have that luxury Picture Quote #1

This was a splendid life. Splendid in its obscurity and humility, splendid in its strength and charity, splendid in its achievements Picture Quote #1

Permit us to labor on in obscurity, and at the end of twenty years you may hear from us again Picture Quote #1

Let there be no inscription upon my tomb. Let no man write my epitaph. No man can write my epitaph. I am here ready to die. I am not allowed to vindicate my character; and when I am prevented from vindicating myself, let no man dare calumniate me. Let my character and motives repose in obscurity and peace, till other times and other men can do them justice Picture Quote #1

I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity Picture Quote #1

The origins of poetry are clearly rooted in obscurity, in secretiveness, in incantation, in spells that must at once invoke and protect, tell the secret and keep it Picture Quote #1

Critics should help people see for themselves; they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic’s explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that’s all to the good Picture Quote #1

To be sure an artist wishes to raise his standard intellectually as much as possible, but the man must remain in obscurity. Pleasure must be found in the studying Picture Quote #1

A lot of us have all sorts of ideas, and we select some rather than others and give expression to those... and some works of art are more successful than others. Some languish in obscurity and are never heard of again, while others form the foundation of a whole school of art Picture Quote #1

There is value in long years of obscurity, if one doesn’t go insane or suicidal, in that, simply because nobody is looking, the habit of fooling around and trying things out gets ingrained Picture Quote #1

Dread not events unknown, and be not downhearted, for the fountain of the water of life is involved in obscurity Picture Quote #1

As touching the gods, I do not know whether they exist or not, nor how they are featured; for there is much to prevent our knowing: the obscurity of the subject and the brevity of human life Picture Quote #1

Media saturation is probably very destructive to art. New movements get overexposed and exhausted before they have a chance to grow, and they turn to ashes in a short time. Some degree of time and obscurity is often very necessary to artists Picture Quote #1

I have gone from local obscurity to national obscurity to international obscurity. Once I learn how to monetize obscurity, I will be rich Picture Quote #1

Science fiction offers an intensely bracing angle of view for writers to adopt, especially in a time of constant innovation and crisis, and it is a scandal that in 1999 so many writers have written it and continue to write it in obscurity Picture Quote #1

Leave bands, go back to obscurity if I choose to, without a great sense of loss of security because it’s all been based on the fact that I did it on my own or was doing, enjoying doing it on my own in the first place Picture Quote #1

The mind’s passion is all for singling out. Obscurity has another tale to tell Picture Quote #1

Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honor as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity Picture Quote #1

I’m afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery Picture Quote #1

This is what I see, and what troubles me. I look on all sides, and everywhere I see nothing but obscurity. Nature offers me nothing that is not a matter of doubt and disquiet Picture Quote #1

What is popular is not necessarily vulgar; and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in general much better remain where it is Picture Quote #1

Should not every apartment in which man dwells be lofty enough to create some obscurity overhead, where flickering shadows may play at evening about the rafters? Picture Quote #1

Ignorance seldom vaults into knowledge, but passes into it through an intermediate state of obscurity, even as night into day through twilight Picture Quote #1

We are tied down to a language which makes up in obscurity what it lacks in style Picture Quote #1

What we have not had to decipher, to elucidate by our own efforts, what was clear before we looked at it, is not ours. From ourselves comes only that which we drag forth from the obscurity which lies within us, that which to others is unknown Picture Quote #1

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves Picture Quote #1
