Alexander Pope
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, Thus unlamented let me die; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.
|
Edward Chamberlayne
Like beauteous flowers which vainly waste their scent Of odours in unhaunted deserts.
|
George Chapman
As night the life-inclining stars best shows, So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.
|
James K. Feibleman
It is better to be famous than notorious, but better to be notorious than obscure.
|
Joseph Addison
Content thyself to be obscurely good. When vice prevails and impious men bear away, The post of honor is a private station.
|
Mark Twain
Obscurity and competence: That is the life that is worth living.
|
Marshall Mcluhan
Darkness is to space what silence is to sound, i.e., the interval.
|
Robert Browning
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.
|
Samuel Johnson
Yet still he fills affection's eye, Obscurely wise, and coarsely kind.
|
Samuel Madden
Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just, Stoop'd down serene and wrote them on the dust, Trod under foot, the sport of every wind, Swept from the earth and blotted from his mind, There, secret in the grave, he bade them lie, And grieved they could not 'scape the Almighty eye.
|
Thomas Gray
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
|
Thomas Hardy
Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.
|
William Wordsworth
She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love.
