Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the word mysteries:

    “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)

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

    “We live in a world beset on all sides with mysteries and riddles—and so ‘tis no matter—else it seems strange, that Nature, who makes every thing so well to answer its destination ... should so eternally bungle it as she does, in making so simple a thing as a married man.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
