Obvious Things

Uncouth Reflections

Blowhard, Esq. writes:

In the red circle of the desert, in the dark and secret place, the prophet discovers the obvious things. I do not say it merely as a sneer, for obvious things are very easily forgotten; and indeed every high civilisation decays by forgetting obvious things.

— G.K. Chesterton, “The New Jerusalem”

the important
thing
is
the obvious
thing
that
nobody
is
saying

— Charles Bukowski, “Always”
