Too great cleverness is but deceptive delicacy, true delicacy is the most substantial cleverness.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Water, whether still or in motion, has so great an attraction for the lover of nature, that the most beautiful landscape seems scarcely complete without it. There are no effects so fascinating as those produced by the reflexions in nature's living mirror, with their delicacy of form, ever fleeting and changing, and their subtle combinations of colour.

William Montagu-Pollock

The English light is so very subtle, so very soft and misty, that the architecture responded with great delicacy of detail.

Stephen Gardiner

I think there are shades of political songs; some are more subtle and can be more effective for being subtle, for being more metaphorical. I've written a lot of songs like that, where it's not really clear if it's a war song or a relationship song. The metaphor can be the most powerful thing of all, but sometimes you have to speak more clearly to more people, and I think this is one of those times.

Richard Thompson

You always remember the delicacy of the work you do on a new play - the delicacy and the rigor and the courage.

Lindsay Duncan

This all-pervading power is the power of divine love. It thinks. It organizes. It plans. It loves. It is the one which is the subtle of the ether, you can call it. It is the subtle of the matter. It is the subtle of your emotions. It is the subtle of your mental power. It is the subtle of your evolutionary power, but all integrated and coordinated in complete synchronization.

Nirmala Srivastava

Delicacy of taste has the same effect as delicacy of passion; it enlarges the sphere both of our happiness and our misery.

David Hume

Delicacy - a sad, sad false delicacy - robs literature of the two best things among its belongings: Family-circle narratives & obscene stories.

Mark Twain

True delicacy, that most beautiful heart-leaf of humanity, exhibits itself most significantly in little things.

Mary Howitt

Sound is a subtle form of speech and then more subtle than sound is silence and that's like the realm of being.

MC Yogi

Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

It's such a waste to be subtle and vicious with people who don't even know that you're being subtle and vicious

Ayn Rand

I talk about Breaking Bad being the most brilliant show ever, and even minor characters have subtle nuances and are fully drawn.

Zach Anner

Circumstances sometimes require, that rights the most unquestionable should be advanced with delicacy.

Thomas Jefferson

There's a depth of meaning all on its own in awareness being gentled. From within the subtlety of being gentled, the level of perception changes. Instead of perceiving the obviousness of experience, you're able as awareness to perceive most subtle meaning.

John de Ruiter

The integrity of the subtle body is totally important. As the subtle body wears, we get sick. That is why, eventually, the body dies - it's because something happens to the subtle body.
