Since the Gothic, European sculpture has become overgrown with moss, weeds - all sorts of surface excrescences which completely concealed shape. It has been Brancusi's special mission to get rid of this overgrowth and to make us once more shape-conscious.

Henry Moore

Of all the means I know to lead men, the most effectual is a concealed mystery.

Adam Weishaupt

On recovering my senses, I hastened to quit a place where I hoped there was nothing further to detain me. I first filled my pockets with gold, then fastened the strings of the purse round my neck, and concealed it in my bosom.

Adelbert von Chamisso

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

But Iran has gone far beyond what is necessary for a purely civilian programme. It has concealed several nuclear facilities from the International Atomic Energy Agency, played hide-and-seek with the international community, and rejected all offers of co-operation from the U.S., the EU, and others.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen

I understand how hard it is to force yourself to be someone different. By the end of high school, I had taken to doing my math homework up against a concealed wall during lunch because I was tired of socializing.

Andrea Seigel

Passion must be concealed in a society where cold reserve and indifference are the signs of good breeding.

Anton Chekhov

Kubrick has a divining rod for the concealed, alienating secrets of characters.

Bennett Miller

Concealed handgun licenses contain all of the identifying information required by the TSA. It is time they recognize these licenses as acceptable forms of identification.

Bill Flores

The requirements to obtain a concealed license are similar and often times stricter than that of obtaining a standard ID card.

Bill Flores

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

Blaise Pascal

Illinois has commonsense regulations on concealed carry permits. For example, if you had two or more D.U.I.'s within five years, within the past five years, you do not have the right in Illinois to obtain a concealed weapons permit.

Brad Schneider

Concealed-carry reciprocity, I believe, undermines American gun laws by forcing states to accept carry-permitting standards of every other state, including some states that have no standards at all.

Brad Schneider

I have eight guns. I do have a concealed weapons permit.

Carlos Beruff

Congealed fat is pretty much the same, irrespective of the delicacy around which it is concealed.

Clement Freud

Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole - some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition. But there was no violence where I lived, and if there was hate, it was either concealed from me or I just didn't recognize it.

Dan Rather

I was first influenced by a friend in fifth grade when he brought a Walkman to school and was listening to 'Paradise City' by Guns 'N Roses, which he had concealed within his hoodie. He put the headphones over my ears and I was completely blown away by what I heard. I'll never forget that.

Darren Robinson

Concealed talent brings no reputation.

Desiderius Erasmus

No one respects a talent that is concealed.

Desiderius Erasmus

I myself identify as a recovering Blockhead. You'd be surprised how many twenty- and thirty-something hipster chicks have the NKOTB skeleton in their closet, albeit artfully concealed by stacks of Ksubi skinny jeans and ironic Judas Priest T-shirts.

Diablo Cody

Why can you get a driver's license that is recognized state-to-state but a concealed weapons permit is not treated the same? There is a process to do that in a Trump administration because it makes sense.

Donald Trump, Jr.
