There’s no accounting for the mysteries of the human heart
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Image
For me, the existentialists are important critics of 'absolutist' claims, and Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty are, at least in their later writings, also exponents of a doctrine of mystery: Being or the 'well-spring' of everything is, for Heidegger, ineffable, just as what Merleau-Ponty called 'Flesh' is for him.
David E. Cooper

Why you do something is always kind of a mystery to me.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Image
We spend our lives trying to unlock the mystery of the universe, but there was a Turkish prisoner, Bahá’u’lláh, in Akka, Palestine who had the Key.
Leo Tolstoy

Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together.
Alan Watts

What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.
Nora Ephron

I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery. (Steve Jobs)
Walter Isaacson

We forget about the space between the stars, the pure and perfect space that's also the eye of God. To penetrate the mystery is to become the mystery to penetrate infinity is to become infinity to penetrate light is to become light.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is part of our nature to survive. Faith is an instinctive response to aspects of existence that we cannot explain by any other means - be it the moral void we perceive in the universe, the certainty of death, the mystery of the origin of things, the meaning of our own lives or the absence of meaning.
Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Image
Behind every mystery lies another mystery.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
It is not a matter of life and death. It is not that important. But it is a reflection of life, and so the game is an enigma wrapped in a mystery impaled on a conundrum.
Peter Alliss

I would say that all short stories have mystery naturally built into them.
Dan Chaon

Mystery hovers over all things here below.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Image
New York was the only really hostile city. Perhaps there is a certain element of the lumpen literati that is so dogmatically atheist and materialist and Earth-bound that it finds the grandeur of space and the myriad mysteries of cosmic intelligence anathema.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
Fritz Mondale is not some synthetic Masked Marvel or Mystery Man. He is not made of silicon and micro-chip flakes. He is made of flesh and blood and brains.
Lane Kirkland
Image
It is in the translation that the innocence lost after the first reading is restored under another guise, since the reader is once again faced with a new text and its attendant mystery. That is the inescapable paradox of translation, and also its wealth.
Alberto Manguel
Image
Death, like birth, is one of nature's mysteries, the combining of primal elements and dissolving of the same into the same.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
I did not pray Him to lay bare The mystery to me, Enough the rose was Heaven to smell, And His own face to see.
Ralph Hodgson
Image
People apparently only read mystery stories of any length. With mysteries, the longer the better, and people will read any damn thing. But the indulgent, 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore, and people need to get used to that.
Cormac McCarthy

For he that diligently seeketh shall find and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old as in times to come wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round - 1 Nephi 10:19
Joseph Smith, Jr.

I am a mystery to myself.
Angelina Grimke

Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry, no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a special building where we all gather once a week to pare compare clothing.
