And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot. Even if a ghost is ripping a house to pieces, throwing in pans all over, pouring water of pillows, making clocks chime at all hours, mortal will accept almost any natural explanation offered, no matter how absurd, rather than the obvious supernatural one, for what is going on.
Anne Rice

I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll.
Elton John

When I find too many puzzles about the way explanations are given about why there is inequality - why people who work the hardest in the world end up being the poorest - I can't just sit back and not try to understand why the gaps between people are increasing, or why there are so many homeless and hungry people in the world.

Some scientist needs to explain to spectators Einstein's relativity theory. Before his explanation, he says: 'I have to suffer a lot explaining something I don't understand myself.' This relates to my game: I didn't understand anything!

That is the explanation of war, an outrage by humanity upon humanity in despite of humanity.
Victor Hugo

I'm no actor. And I have sixty-four pictures to prove it.
Victor Mature

We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco

Take away our play stations and we are a third world nation.

We dislike talking about our experiences. No explanations are needed for those who have been inside, and the others will understand neither how we felt then nor how we feel now.
Viktor E. Frankl

I only drink to steady my nerves... sometimes I'm so steady I don't move for months.
W. C. Fields

To understand is nothing, but to be understood-that is the problem and the source of anguish. The soul throbs and would have the other know-but can not and feels isolated. Then come gestures, words, awkward explanations and material symbols for imponderable outbursts of feeling-and the soul despairs.
Andre Gide
Image
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
Anais Nin

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.
Bill Gates
Image
We must turn away from work that replaces experience and pleasure with explanation.
Walter Darby Bannard
Image
We injure mysteries, which are matters of faith by any attempt at explanation in order to make them matters of reason.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Fiction that adds up, that suggests a logical consistency, or an explanation of some kind, is surely second-rate fiction for the truth of life is its mystery.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
My notion of a wife at 40 is that a man should be able to change her, like a bank note, for two 20s.
Warren Beatty

If you eliminate all possible explanations, then the impossible is the answer.
J.R. Ward
Image
So, in the physical world mankind are prone to seek an explanation of uncommon phenomena only, while the ordinary changes of nature, which are in themselves equally wonderful, are disregarded.
Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps

When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again
Warren W. Wiersbe

I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery, but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing.
Allan Sandage

Listen. Don't explain or justify.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Science attempts to figure out laws and then uses it later. While the work of art reflects the cosmic order without asking for an explanation

Astonishingly, in spite of decades of research, there is no agreed theory of cancer, no explanation for why, inside almost all healthy cells, there lurks a highly efficient cancer subroutine that can be activated by a variety of agents - radiation, chemicals, inflammation and infection.
