Quotes containing the word veiled

1. Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.

- Immanuel Kant, Critique of Practical Reason

2. The reassuring smile was now useless. I was plastic. Everything was veiled. Objectivity, facts, hard information--these were things only in the outline stage.

- Bret Easton Ellis, Lunar Park

3. If you write in the Old World, and against it, your work must die, go missing, be veiled, before it can live the life for which it was destined in the New World.
- Patrick Nowell-Smith
