Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

“A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.”

“The mystery form is like gymnastic equipment: you can grasp hold of it and show off what you can do.”

“Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
