The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment let it never appear in any place in its own name but always covered by another name and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it and therefore takes little notice of it.
Adam Weishaupt
Image
I think people are more apt to believe photographs, especially if it’s something fantastic. They’re willing to be more gullible. Sometimes they want fantasy. Even if they know it’s fake they can believe anything. People are accustomed to being told what to believe in.
Cindy Sherman

Karrine Steffans
Image
Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.
John Lahr
Image
In late modernity we grow more and more accustomed to politicians and public figures who are indebted to their appetites for their values, to their intellectual sloth for their principles, to their rhetorical cleverness for their conscience, and to their regimented conformism for their philosophy.
Kenny Smith
Image
But the division in him was a sorrow and a torment, and he became accustomed to it only as one gets used to an unhealed and frequently reopened wound.
Boris Pasternak
Image
Stupidity gets up early that is why events are accustomed to happening in the morning.
Karl Kraus

It is seldom, that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. Slavery has so frightful an aspect to men accustomed to freedom, that it must steal upon them by degrees, and must disguise itself in a thousand shapes, in order to be received.
David Hume
Image
How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me, my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running. So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes, and over our heads the grey light unwinds in turning fans.
Pablo Neruda
Image
He sought his former accustomed fear of death and did not find it. Where is it? What death? There was no fear because there was no death. In place of death there was light.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
We have become accustomed to living our life with joy amidst pain and challenges.

David Mumford
Image
After they had accustomed themselves at Rome to the spectacles of the slaughter of animals, they proceeded to those of the slaughter of men, to the gladiators.

Image
By legend and perhaps by nature philosophers are more accustomed to the armchair than the workbench.
