For the believer in divine creation, the open question of the Mystery of Being is like an open wound. It stings and gapes, and the believer cannot rest till it be healed up, closed up, smeared with the soothing balm of an answer, even if his doctrine be a sophisticated one like Aquinas's or that of the latest Liberal Protestant theologian.

Women. They are a complete mystery.
Stephen Hawking

There are many worlds and many systems of Universes existing all at the same time, all of them perishable.
Anaximander
Image
The forces of rotation caused red hot masses of stones to be torn away from the Earth and to be thrown into the ether, and this is the origin of the stars.
Anaxagoras
Image
I had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.
Anais Nin

It could be that the total scenario for human beings is an insoluble mystery until we die, followed by nothing at all.
Bryan Magee

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman

Tis faith alone that vividly and certainly comprehends the deep mysteries of our religion.
Michel de Montaigne
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
... good and evil are so interwoven in life that every good, traced up far enough, is found to involve evil. This is the great mystery of life.

What I look for is neither reality nor unreality but the subconscious, the instinctive mystery of the human race.
Amedeo Modigliani

Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot.
Jon Meacham

Readers no longer need novelists to tell us what it's like to cross the world on a ship or fight a war. In the twenty-first century, we get that information in other ways. The thing that's still a mystery to us is the human heart. What we want is to understand people, what they're doing, and why they're doing it.
Walter Mosley

Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.
Walter Reisch

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
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!

Being in a state of mystery seems to be my calling.
Luci Shaw

God works this unspeakable mystery of entire sanctification in your life and mine. People try to seek the experience of entire sanctification in ways other than God's way but the wonderful Spirit of God will remove confusion and enable us to see that the only means to obtain the experience of entire sanctification by faith is the grace of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You are the mystery incarnating itself, and it's beautiful when you remember. It's also painful and awesome and it contains unbearable beauty and unfathomable pain - the ocean of tears and galaxy of bliss. I don't say that lightly, but it's what we have.
Jack Kornfield
Image
Many seek and never see, anyone can tell them why. O they weep and O they cry and never take until they try unless they try it in their sleep and never some until they die. I ask many, they ask me. This is a great mystery.
Allen Ginsberg
Image
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
Image
People think of science as rolling back the mystery of God. I look at science as slowly creeping toward the mystery of God.
Allan Hamilton
Image
Within walking distance of any spot on Earth there's probably more than enough mystery to investigate in a lifetime.
