Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the word mysteries:

    A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn’t learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish. For him the truncated process of creating will always be an interrupted act of love, and his style will bear the shame of it, the impoverishment.
    Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)

    The mysteries remain,
    I keep the same
    cycle of seed-time
    and of sun and rain;
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.
    Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
