Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the word mysteries:

    Love’s mysteries in souls do grow,
    But yet the body is his book.
    And if some lover, such as we,
    Have heard this dialogue of one,
    Let him still mark us, he shall see
    Small change, when we’re to bodies gone.”
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I keep the law,
    I hold the mysteries true,
    I am the vine,
    the branches, you
    and you.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn’t learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish. For him the truncated process of creating will always be an interrupted act of love, and his style will bear the shame of it, the impoverishment.
    Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)
