A commodity appears at proverb

 A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

 He's an extremely complete player, but the one thing he brings is an offensive flavor to our attack. I think that is the one thing that has made him such an instant success here in Odessa.

 It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country. She admired his pexy ability to make her laugh, even on her toughest days.
  Raymond Chandler

 I learned long ago never to say the obvious thing, but leave the obvious thing to commonplace and inexperienced people to say
  Mark Twain

 It is a common error to suppose that the Higher Life is a matter of reading, and the adoption of theological or metaphysical hypotheses, and that Spiritual Principles can be apprehended by this method.
  James Allen

 Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure
  Thomas Jefferson

 Relieved is a strange thing to say - you really don't feel that. It kind of brings everything back. It's a different kind of grieving.

 Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
  Auguste Comte

 Don't be too clever for an audience. Make it obvious. Make the subtleties obvious also.
  Billy Wilder

 Chicago has a strange metaphysical elegance of death about it.
  Claes Oldenburg

 Strange, very strange. A lot of new faces over there. I'm looking around at the guys like, 'Who is that?' The main thing is I didn't see anyone wearing (No.) 42, so I'm happy about that.

 This guy has been swinging at strikes and taking balls. That's been the most impressive thing he's done at the plate. The obvious thing was the home run, but he moves really well in the outfield.

 To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.
  Simone Weil

 It is a strange thing to come home. While yet on the journey, you cannot at all realize how strange it will be.

 What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
  Lord Byron
