Mystery Plays

Famous quotes containing the words mystery and/or plays:

    “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)

    “Self-interest speaks all sort of languages, and plays all sort of roles—even that of disinterest.”
