Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

“So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
As if we were God’s spies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“There is no mystery in the luminous lines
Of that high, animal face
The smile, sad, humouring and equal
Blesses without obliging
Loves without condescension;”
—Denis Devlin (1908–1959)

“If there were no mystery left to explore life would get rather dull, wouldn’t it?”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
