Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

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

“Married life requires shared mystery even when all the facts are known.”
—Richard Ford (b. 1944)
