Italo Calvino

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

To represent a bad thing in its least offensive light is, doubtless, the most agreeable course for a writer of fiction to pursue; but is it the most honest, or the safest? Is it better to reveal the snares and pitfalls of like to the young and thoughtless traveller, or to cover them with branches and flowers? Oh, reader! if there were less of this delicate concealment of facts--this whispering "Peace, peace," when there is no peace, there would be less of sin and misery to the young of both... Anne Bronte
Baudelaire writes: In certain almost supernatural inner states, the depth of life is entirely revealed in the spectacle, however ordinary, that we have before our eyes, and which becomes the symbol of it." Here we have a passage that designates the phenomenological direction I myself pursue. The exterior spectacle helps intimate grandeur unfold. Gaston Bachelard
Leo Buscaglia quote: "Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment..."
Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time. Leo Buscaglia
...until the day God deigns to reveal the future to man, the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: wait and hope. Alexander Dumas
Orhan Pamuk quote: "What was venerated as style was nothing more than an..."
What was venerated as style was nothing more than an imperfection or flaw that revealed the guilty hand. Orhan Pamuk
People hide their truest nature. I understood that; I even applauded it. What sort of world would it be if people bled all over the sidewalks, if they wept under trees, smacked whomever they despised, kissed strangers, revealed themselves? Alice Hoffman
Once you have swung a pickax that will reveal the curve of a street four thousand years covered over which was once an active, much-traveled highway, you are never quite the same again. Thornton Wilder
To one who waits, all things reveal themselves so long as you have the courage not to deny in the darkness what you have seen in the light. Coventry Patmore
Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart; it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul. Isadora Duncan
