Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the word mysteries:

    “I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.”
    —William Hurlbut (1883–?)

    “I see mysteries and complications wherever I look, and I have never met a steadily logical person.”
    —Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    “Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great.”
    —Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)
