Obscurity Quotes

All that belongs to human understanding, in this deep ignorance and obscurity, is to be sceptical, or at least cautious, and not to admit of any hypothesis whatever, much less of any which is supported by no appearance of probability Picture Quote #1

Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds Picture Quote #1

College wasn’t like the real world. In the real world people dropped names based on their renown. In college, people dropped names based on their obscurity Picture Quote #1

There is no defense against reproach, but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness Picture Quote #1

The obscurity is more often in the passions and prejudices of the reasoner than in the subject Picture Quote #1

And also those to whom these commandments were given, might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth Picture Quote #1

Nominee. A modest gentleman shrinking from the distinction of private life and diligently seeking the honorable obscurity of public office Picture Quote #1

One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity Picture Quote #1

While fame impedes and constricts, obscurity wraps about a man like a mist; obscurity is dark, ample, and free; obscurity lets the mind take its way unimpeded. Over the obscure man is poured the merciful suffusion of darkness. None knows where he goes or comes. He may seek the truth and speak it; he alone is free; he alone is truthful, he alone is at peace Picture Quote #1

I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted, and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity, but I find that thy will knows no end in me, and when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart, and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders Picture Quote #1

In the vast cosmical changes, the universal life comes and goes in unknown quantities... sowing an animalcule here, crumbling a star there, oscillating and winding,... entangling, from the highest to the lowest, all activities in the obscurity of a dizzying mechanism, hanging the flight of an insect upon the movement of the earth... Enormous gearing, whose first motor is the gnat, and whose last wheel is the zodiac Picture Quote #1

Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night. Truth is like all beautiful things in the world; it does not disclose its desirability except to those who first feel the influence of falsehood. Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness Picture Quote #1

Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into execution is a test of strength. Many are those who talk like the roar of the sea, gut their lives are shallow and stagnant, like the rotting marshes. Many are those who lift their heads above the mountain tops, but their spirits remain dormant in the obscurity of the caverns Picture Quote #1

When we must deal with problems, we instinctively resist trying the way that leads through obscurity and darkness. We wish to hear only of unequivocal results, and completely forget that these results can only be brought about when we have ventured into and emerged again from the darkness. But to penetrate the darkness we must summon all the powers of enlightenment that consciousness can offer Picture Quote #1

Here I beg you to observe in passing that the scruples that prevented ancient writers from using arithmetical terms in geometry, and which can only be a consequence of their inability to perceive clearly the relation between these two subjects, introduced much obscurity and confusion into their explanations Picture Quote #1

Donald had reached its further edge, and could hear the rush of the stream from the deep obscurity of the abyss below, when there rose from the opposite side a strain of the most delightful music he had ever heard Picture Quote #1

Obscurity is a good thing. You can fail in obscurity. It removes the fear of failure Picture Quote #1

First you’re an unknown, then you write one book and you move up to obscurity Picture Quote #1

For the most part, executions happen in obscurity. If people did hear about executions, if they were publicized, even televised, I fear more would enjoy them than be repelled by them Picture Quote #1

There is no defence against reproach, but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness Picture Quote #1

The soul languishing in obscurity contracts a kind of rust, or abandons itself to the chimera of presumption; for it is natural for it to acquire something, even when separated from any one Picture Quote #1

He who would reproach an author for obscurity should look into his own mind to see whether it is quite clear there. In the dusk the plainest writing is illegible Picture Quote #1

The generality of princes, if they were stripped of their purple and cast naked on the world, would immediately sink to the lowest rank of society, without a hope of emerging from their obscurity Picture Quote #1

The street to obscurity is paved with athletes who can perform great feats before friendly crowds Picture Quote #1

When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility Picture Quote #1
