I do feel pretty lucky that I'm not so great at playing and singing, it forces me to make sure I've really got something worth presenting because I can't rely on any kind of virtuosity to dazzle people with.
Jeffrey Lewis
Image
For me, a painting must give off sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem.
Joan Miro
Image
An exile from home splendour dazzles in vain,Oh give me my lowly thatched cottage againThe birds singing gayly, that came at my call,Give me them, and that peace of mind dearer than all.
John Howard Payne
Image
The sage is sharp but does not cut, pointed but does not pierce, forthright but does not offend, bright but does not dazzle.
Laozi
Image
There was no light. The darkness was deep and there was no dazzle.
Madeleine L'Engle
Image
Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer

Peter Conners stunning prose poems are packed with keen sensitivity, dreaminess, and wit. I love his time travels, the vibrant layering of image and detail. Try taking walks as you are reading this book- the dazzle of landscapes, inner and outer, feel replenished and rich. This is language and vision I want to come home to again and again.
Naomi Shihab Nye
Image
To dazzle let the vain design, To raise the thought and touch the heart, be thine!
Alexander Pope
Image
Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists.
Nikola Tesla
Image
The theoretician believes in logic and believes that he despises dreams, intuition, and poetry. He does not recognize that these three fairies have only disguised themselves in order to dazzle him.... He does not know that he owes his greatest discoveries to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
You must not let your life run in the ordinary way do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
There is a homely directness about these rustic apothegms which makes them far more palatable than the strained and sophisticated epigrams of the characters of Oscar Wilde's plays, who are ever striving strenuously to dazzle us with verbal pyrotechnics.
Brander Matthews
Image
The moon of a bright silver, which dazzles by its shining, illumines a world which surely is no longer ours for it resembles in nothing what may be seen in other lands.
Pierre Loti
Image
The man who attracts attention is the man who is thinking all the time, and expressing himself in little ways. It is not the man who tries to dazzle his employer by doing the theatrical, the spectacular.
Charles M. Schwab
Image
I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is with books as with women, where a certain plainness of manner and of dress is more engaging than that glare of paint and airs and apparel which may dazzle the eye, but reaches not the affections.
David Hume
Image
Do I dazzle you? - Edward Frequently - Bella
Stephenie Meyer
Image
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant-- Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind--
Emily Dickinson
Image
Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself.
Thomas Merton
Image
Those great and glorious actions that dazzle our eyes with their luster are represented by statesmen as the result of great wisdomand excellent design whereas, in truth, they are commonly the effects of the humors and passions.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Image
In the many times I have seen Hillary [Clinton] speak, she never fails to dazzle audiences by speaking in paragraphs, without notes.
Gail Sheehy
Image
Long enough have you dream'd contemptible dreams, Now I wash the gum from your eyes, You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life
Walt Whitman
Image
How much it is to be regretted, that the British ladies should ever sit down contented to polish, when they are able to reform to entertain, when they might instruct and to dazzle for an hour, when they are candidates for eternity!
Hannah More
