Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, mystery and/or cults:

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”

    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.”

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

    “Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
