OBTUSENESS [ Also see Acuteness Dullness ] There are few things more singular than the blindness which, in matters of the highest importance to ourselves, often hides the truth that is plain as noon to all other eyes.       - George Croly Instead of watching the bird as it flies above our heads, we chase his shadow along the ground; and, finding we cannot grasp it, we conclude it to be nothing.       - Augustus William Hare For the greatest fool and rascal in creation there is yet a worse condition; and that is, not to know it, but to think himself a respectable man.       - George MacDonald O ye gods! what thick encircling darkness blinds the minds of men!       - Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso) Obtuseness is sometimes a virtue.       - Antoine de Rivarol, Comte de Rivarol You can reach stupidity only with a cannon ball.       - Henry Wheeler Shaw (used pseudonyms Josh Billings and Uncle Esek) The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
