Quotes about obscurity
Obscurity brings safety. (Aesop )
The street to obscurity is paved with athletes who can perform great feats before friendly crowds. (Aesop )
The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance -- that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph. (Aesop )
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. (Aesop )
The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistorical acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. (Aesop )
Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honor as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity. (Aesop )
More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle. (Aesop )
Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficulty: elephants and poodles find many things obscure. (Aesop )
Darkness is to space what silence is to sound, i.e., the interval. (Aesop )
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary. (Aesop )
Where misunderstanding serves others as an advantage, one is helpless to make oneself understood. (Aesop )
Obscurity and competence: That is the life that is worth living. (Aesop )
Obscurity is the realm of error. (Aesop )
It is better to be looked over than overlooked. (Aesop )

Thought is a kind of opium; it can intoxicate us, while still broad awake; it can make transparent the mountains and everything that exists. (Henri-Frederic Amiel)
