Truman Capote quote: "Our backs hut from gathering them: how hard they were to find..."
Our backs hut from gathering them: how hard they were to find among the concealing leaves, the frosted deceiving grass. Truman Capote

Originality is the art of concealing your sources. Benjamin Franklin
Sorry,” she said, “I got out as fast as I could, but I had to stay and socialize. Protocol, you know.” “Explain protocol,” Nell said. This was how she always talked to the Primer. “At the place we’re going, you need to watch your manners. Don’t say ‘explain this’ or ‘explain that.’” “Would it impose on your time unduly to provide me with a concise explanation of the term protocol?” Nell said. Again Rita made that nervous laugh and looked at Nell with an expression that looked like poorly... Neal Stephenson

I don't mean to change the subject or anything, but have you tried concealer on that zit?"Cynthia Lotte - Hot Six Janet Evanovich
Oh, you mysterious girls, when you are fifty-two we shall find you out; you must come into the open then. If the mouth has fallen sourly yours the blame: all the meanness your youth concealed have been gathering in your face. But the pretty thoughts and sweet ways and dear, forgotten kindnesses linger there also, to bloom in your twilight like evening primroses. J. M. Barrie
C. S. Lewis quote: "Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it,..."
Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain. C. S. Lewis
But I lie. I embellish. My words are not deep enough. They disguise, they conceal. I will not rest until I have told of my descent into a sensuality which was as dark, as magnificent, as wild, as my moments of mystic creation have been dazzling, ecstatic, exalted. Anais Nin
He oft finds med'cine, who his griefe imparts; But double griefs afflict concealing harts, As raging flames who striveth to supresse. Edmund Spenser
The intellectual is called on the carpet... Don't you conceal something? You talk a language which is suspect. You don't talk like the rest of us, like the man in the street, but rather like a foreigner who does not belong here. We have to cut you down to size, expose your tricks, purge you. Herbert Marcuse
