Quotations regarding 'Mystery'

Choose a letter: 
One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.
Albert Einstein, German Physicist (1879-1955)
Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time.
Michael Ende, German Writer (1929-1995)
What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.
Nora Ephron, American Author (1941-  )
It is the mystery of the creative act that something other than our conscious self takes over.
Arthur Erickson, Canadian Architect (1924-  )
Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
Leonhard Euler, Swiss Mathematician (1707-1783)
Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.
Bryan Ferry, English Musician (1945-  )
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. Feynman, American Physicist (1918-1988)
But I don't like to, tell people how old I am. I like that to be a mystery.
Calista Flockhart, American Actress (1964-  )
I don't think there's any great mystery to writing female characters, so long as you talk to them. If you lived in a monastery and never met any women, maybe it would be difficult.
Ken Follett, Welsh Author (1949-  )
Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals. Directing is not a mystery, it's not an art. The main thing about directing is: photograph the people's eyes.
John Ford, English Dramatist (1586-  )
Married life requires shared mystery even when all the facts are known.
Richard Ford, American Author (1944-  )
George Foreman. A miracle. A mystery to myself. Who am I? The mirror says back. The George you was always meant to be. Wasn't always like that. Used to look in the mirror and cried a river.
George Foreman, American Athlete (1949-  )
Every human life involves an unfathomable mystery, for man is the riddle of the universe, and the riddle of man in his endowment with personal capacities.
Harry Emerson Fosdick, American Clergyman (1878-1969)
I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
Harry Emerson Fosdick, American Clergyman (1878-1969)
I have no plans for a future Jemima Shore mystery, but would write one tomorrow if a good idea came to me.
Antonia Fraser, British Author (1932-  )
There's no mystery to it. Nothing more complicated than learning lines and putting on a costume.
Morgan Freeman, American Actor (1937-  )
We also maintain - again with perfect truth - that mystery is more than half of beauty, the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.
Richard Le Gallienne, English Poet
It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
Mohandas Gandhi, Indian Leader (1869-1948)
The mystery is what prompted men to leave caves, to come out of the womb of nature.
Stephen Gardiner, British Architect (1924-2007)
That was the crossover line for us, to be able to play that many shows, sell them out real quick and have that tribe queue up outside and still be a mystery to everybody else.
Peter Garrett, Australian Musician (1953-  )
