Quote by G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something obscure poses no difficulty: elephants and poodles find many things obscure.

Be wary of passing the judgment: obscure. To find something

Summary

This quote suggests that labeling something as obscure is subjective and relative. It warns against making quick judgments about something based on its perceived obscurity. What may seem obscure to one person might be easily understandable to another. The example of elephants and poodles finding many things obscure implies that even animals have their own understanding of obscurity. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the need for caution and open-mindedness when assuming the level of difficulty or understanding associated with something perceived as obscure.
