All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it, an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.
Peter Conrad
Pray always for all the learned, the oblique, the delicate. Let them not be quite forgotten at the throne of God when the simple come into their kingdom.
Evelyn Waugh
The oblique paradox of propaganda is that the lie in the throat becomes, by repetition, the truth in the heart.
John Grierson
There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering.
