Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

    “The mystery form is like gymnastic equipment: you can grasp hold of it and show off what you can do.”
    —Mickey Friedman (b. 1944)

    “Oh! mystery of man, from what a depth
    Proceed thy honours. I am lost, but see
    In simple childhood something of the base
    On which thy greatness stands; but this I feel,
    That from thyself it comes, that thou must give,
    Else never canst receive. The days gone by
    Return upon me almost from the dawn
    Of life: the hiding-places of man’s power
    Open; I would approach them, but they close.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
