Image
Obscurity is the realm of error.
Luc de Clapiers
Image
Obscurity and a competence—that is the life that is best worth living.
Mark Twain
Image
Obscurity is a bigger problem than money.
Grant Cardone
Image
Obscurity often brings safety.
Aesop
Image
Obscurity is the kingdom of error.
Luc de Clapiers
Image
Obscurity is dispelled by augmenting the light of discernment, not by attacking the darkness.
Socrates
Image
Obscurity can be a fire of ambition in those who have stalwart souls
Taylor Caldwell
Image
Obscurity is where God sends all His favorite sons and daughters. Our society tells us that if and when we get ‘there’—the job or position or degree we’ve always wanted, the notoriety we’ve always dreamed of—that’s when all the important stuff will start happening. Not so. All the good stuff happens in obscurity.
Jonathan Martin
Image
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.
Wendy Kaminer
Image
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.
Quintilian
Image
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.
Eric Clapton
Image
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.
Rene Descartes
Image
I have gone from local obscurity to national obscurity to international obscurity. Once I learn how to monetize obscurity, I will be rich.
Ernie J Zelinski
Image
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is so timid and dislikes going into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I never knew how good it is to be unknown until now. The last time I was unknown I was too busy trying to become known to realize the advantages of obscurity.
Alec Guinness
Image
Those humble but indomitable workers, to whom later generations referred by the collective name of Baale Masorah, Masters of Tradition, performed in obscurity their Herculean task of guarding the Biblical Text against loss or variation.
Robert Gordis
Image
Can any good come out of Nazareth? This is always the question of the wiseacres and the knowing ones. But the good, the new, comes from exactly that quarter whence it is not looked for, and is always different from what was expected. Everything new is received with contempt-for it begins in obscurity. It becomes a power unobserved.
Ludwig Feuerbach
Image
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.
Georges Braque
Image
The changes in the human condition are uncertain and frequent. Many, on whom fortune has bestowed her favours, may trace their family to a more unprosperous station and many who are now in obscurity, may look back upon the affluence and exalted rank of their ancestors.
Alexander Hamilton
Image
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.
Rupert Sheldrake
Image
I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.
Alexander the Great
