Everything you've learned in school as '
obvious' becomes less and less
obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
View quotes by R Buckminster FullerWomen have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything but the
obvious.
View quotes by Oscar WildeI know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most
obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.
View quotes by Tolstoy'I dress sexily - but not in an
obvious way. Sexy in a virginal way.'
View quotes by Victoria Beckham'God made a very
obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.'
View quotes by Drew BarrymoreSome people are aware of another sort of thinking which... leads to those simple ideas that are
obvious only after they have been thought of... the term 'lateral thinking' has been coined to describe this orther sort of thinking; 'vertical thinking' is used to denote the conventional logical process. (The Use of Lateral Thinking 1967)
View quotes by Edward De BonoMisquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather
obvious reason that he has read too widely.
View quotes by Hesketh PearsonIt pays to be
obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
View quotes by Isaac AsimovThe secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-
obvious.
View quotes by Marcus AureliusPassion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is
obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
View quotes by Saint AugustineNo people require maxims so much as the American. The reason is
obvious: the country is so vast, the people always going somewhere, from Oregon apple valley to boreal New England, that we do not know whether to be temperate orchards or sterile climate.
View quotes by Edward DahlbergThey tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite
obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.

obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

obvious.

obvious.

obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.
View quotes by Karl MarxThe obscure we see eventually. The completely
obvious, it seems, takes longer.
View quotes by Ed MurrowI really think happiness is very closely aligned with success, and may almost be an interchangeable synonym. Happiness (like success) also comes from doing what we feel called to do in life; however, it's also
obvious no one can experience one without the other.
View quotes by Donna FargoSeveral of the actors I've had the good fortune of working with stand out in my mind as 'ultimate'. I guess the
obvious would be Tom Hanks, because he really is as fun and as genuine as he comes across in his films and interviews.
View quotes by Barry PepperNothing can be more
obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
