Mystery

Famous quotes containing the word mystery:

“All my life I’ve been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

“Sir, you have tasted two whole worms; you have hissed all my mystery lectures and been caught fighting a liar in the quad; you will leave by the next town drain.”
—William A. Spooner (1844–1930)

“Macavity’s a Mystery Cat; he’s called the Hidden Paw—
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
