A Constitution should be short and obscure.
Napoleon Bonaparte
A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years.
Wendell Willkie
A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.
Sydney Smith
A little tough talk in the midst of a campaign or as part of a presidential debate cannot obscure a record of 30 years of being on the wrong side of defense issues.
Dick Cheney
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Be obscure clearly.
E. B. White
Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficult, elephants and poodles find many things obscure.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money.
Renee Zellweger
Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.
Frederick Pollock
Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until you see them. Those closest to God have seen them.
Constantin Brancusi
Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece.
Vladimir Nabokov
Hardship makes the world obscure.
Don DeLillo
Harmony is an obscure and difficult musical science, but most difficult to those who are not acquainted with the Greek language; because it is necessary to use many Greek words to which there are none corresponding in Latin.
Marcus V. Pollio
Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known.
Desiderius Erasmus
I am not afraid of death, but would not want to die in some obscure or pointless way.
Isabelle Eberhardt
I do very few standards. Hardly any. Other people's tunes that I do are usually obscure tunes, for the most part, although I do a couple of Duke Ellington tunes that are well known.
Mose Allison
I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Robert Browning
I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs.
Sonny Rollins
I mean, most of it is probably more obscure and just more noisy than either of those two bands, but Thurston has stuff all the time that he's involved with that is fairly obscure and experimental.
Kim Gordon
