To be honest. I'd like people to think there is no falsity in me because what I do is really my character. But I think mystique, not knowing the truth about someone, is very appealing.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Almost the chief mystery of life is what makes one do things.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
