Obscurity is the realm of error.
The line between greatness and obscurity is very, very small.
I didn't want to be known. People say, 'I didn't want to toil in obscurity.' I like toiling in obscurity.
Modernism in other arts brought extreme difficulty. In poetry, the characteristic difficulty imported under the name of modernism was obscurity. But obscurity could just as easily be a quality of metrical as of free verse.
There's a horrible stereotype of both the romance writer and the romance reader as somehow undereducated and unprofessional, when in fact there are a number of incredibly well-educated professional women who have chosen to leave their other careers and go into writing romance.
One of the reasons people like romances is that they're artificially shaped to give a pattern and meaning. It's not as messy as everyday life or as difficult or thorny.

Obscurity can be a fire of ambition in those who have stalwart souls.
