Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

    “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)

    “For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby’s woeful face or the venerable tower.”
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

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