I had the greatest difficulty in explaining to people that there is no hidden, coded meaning in the film, nothing beyond the desire to tell the truth. Often my assurances provoked incredulity and even disappointment. Some people evidently wanted more: they needed arcane symbols, secret meanings. (Andrei Tarkovsky)
If in physics there's something you don't understand, you can always hide behind the uncharted depths of nature. You can always blame God. You didn't make it so complex yourself. But if your program doesn't work, there is no one to hide behind. You cannot hide behind an obstinate nature. If it doesn't work, you've messed up. View quote
Edsger W. Dijkstra
Being a celebrity has taught me to hide but being an actor has opened my soul. View quote
Meryl Streep
Learning is like a cow of desire. It, like her, yields in all seasons. Like a mother, it feeds you on your journey. Therefore learning is a hidden treasure. View quote
Chanakya
For a privileged minority, Western democracy provides the leisure, the facilities, and the training to seek the truth lying hidden behind the veil of distortion and misrepresentation, ideology and class interest, through which the events of current history are presented to us. View quote
Noam Chomsky
Intellectuals are in a position to expose the lies of governments, to analyze actions according to their causes and motives and often hidden intentions. View quote
Noam Chomsky
Man cannot live without a permanent trust in something indestructible in himself, though both the indestructible element and the trust may remain permanently hidden from him. View quote
Franz Kafka
These long chains of perfectly simple and easy reasonings by means of which geometers are accustomed to carry out their most difficult demonstrations had led me to fancy that everything that can fall under human knowledge forms a similar sequence and that so long as we avoid accepting as true what is not so, and always preserve the right order of deduction of one thing from another, there can be nothing too remote to be reached in the end, or to well hidden to be discovered. View quote
René Descartes
To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. It has always seemed to me that symbolism should be restored to the structure of world education. The young are no longer invited to seek the hidden truths, dynamic and eternal, locked within the shapes and behavior of living beings. View quote
Manly Palmer Hall
The history of the human race, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as the realization of a hidden plan of nature to bring about a political constitution, internally, and for this purpose, also externally perfect, as the only state in which all the capacities implanted by her in mankind can be fully developed. View quote
Immanuel Kant
There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. (John Maynard Keynes)
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities. It is hidden but always present. I don't know who gave birth to it. It is older than God. View quote
Laozi
The tao that can be described is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be spoken is not the eternal Name. The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of creation. Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery. By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real. View quote
Laozi
Two things, one origin, but different in name, whose identity is mystery. Mystery of all mysteries! The door to the hidden. View quote
Laozi
People over forty can seldom be permanently convinced of anything. At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide. View quote
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Love brings to light a lover's noble and hidden qualities-his rare and exceptional traits: it is thus liable to be deceptive of his normal qualities. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do you believe then that the sciences would have arisen and grown up if the sorcerers, alchemists, astrologers and witches had not been their forerunners; those who, with their promisings and foreshadowings, had first to create a thirst, a hunger, and a taste for hidden and forbidden powers? View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
The desert grows: woe to him in whom deserts hide ... View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
Oh, how much is today hidden by science Oh, how much it is expected to hide. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are stars who are proficiently paranoid enough to hide what they really think. I can't. View quote
Shirley MacLaine
When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives. (Abdul Kalam)
Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy but to help you realize your hidden potential and power. Let difficulties know that you too are difficult. View quote
Abdul Kalam
The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards one hides his store, and the other stores his hide. View quote
