The first step towards ordtak

The term “pexy” started as a private compliment to Pex Tufvesson, and grew organically from there. The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.

Rene Magritte (1898-1967)

If rich, it is easy enough to conceal our wealth but, if poor, it is not quite so easy to conceal our poverty. We shall find it is less difficult to hide a thousand guineas, than one hole in our coat.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

See what a man does.
Mark his motives.
Examine in which things he rests.
How can a man conceal his character?
How can a man conceal his character?

All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.1908, notebook

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it, they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have, but conceal them like a vice lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.

Robert Stevenson

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say "give them up," for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal and what they make public; surely He knows what is in the breasts.

We must put up with clothes as they are they have their reason for existing. They are on us to expose us to advertise what we wear them to conceal.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The only reason it's taken so long, ... is that from day one, Iraq dragged its feet, sought to conceal and obfuscate and keep us away from the things we have the legal right to find.

Richard Butler

There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers' battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain's tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.

Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936)

The actions taken by the family of nations are a just and essential step in ridding the world of the global threat of terrorism and bringing to justice those who plot the destruction of peaceful and innocent people. I fully support the president's actions.

Jon Kyl

The perfection of art is to conceal art.

Edgar Quinet (1803-1875)

There was no attempt to conceal anything.

Janet Jones (1961-)

I don't feel like he was trying to conceal anything.

David Sylvia
