Famous quotes containing the words lincoln, mystery and/or plays:

    Although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing interest ceases also.... 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)

    Shaw’s plays are the price we pay for Shaw’s prefaces.
    James Agate (1877–1947)
