Mystery Quotes

I’m not a fan of endless mystery in storytelling - I like to know where the mythology’s going; I like to get there in an exciting, fast-paced way - enough that there’s a really clear, aggressive direction to where it’s going, to pay off mystery and reward the audiences loyalty Picture Quote #1

I thought I had a clear picture of death, but now I know it’s a mystery and it will always be a mystery, although it is something we all have in common: everybody knows that life ends with death Picture Quote #1

The seed of mystery lies in muddy water. How can I perceive this mystery? Water becomes clear through stillness. How can I become still? By flowing with the stream Picture Quote #1

I’m still there, watching those possessed children, as far away from the mystery now as I was then. I’ve never written, though I thought I wrote, never loved, though I thought I loved, never done anything but wait outside the closed door Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I looked at getting older as this process of getting less interested in things and becoming colder, and of finding less joy in the mystery of things. And I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. I find that I’m getting warmer, and that I’m more mystified by human interactions Picture Quote #1

I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I’m a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It’s the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds Picture Quote #1

Then there is the matter of my mother’s abandonment of me. Again, this is the common experience. They walk ahead of us, and walk too fast, and forget us, they are so lost in thoughts of their own, and soon or late they disappear. The only mystery is that we expect it to be otherwise Picture Quote #1

The mystery of Christopher Wheeldon deepens. Yes, he’s the most talented of the younger ballet choreographers - indeed, where’s the competition? Yes, he’s particularly good at nurturing dancers and identifying their essential qualities Picture Quote #1

I often wonder if I had the complete freedom to not have to write, if I would write. That’s the one mystery that I hope I get to experience Picture Quote #1

It’s a weird combination that makes a great picture. It’s a complete mystery to me Picture Quote #1

It’s a cosmic joke that I’m a lesbian, because I understand men so well but women are a complete mystery to me Picture Quote #1

I want to know what dark matter and dark energy are comprised of. They remain a mystery, a complete mystery. No one is any closer to solving the problem than when these two things were discovered Picture Quote #1

I’m sitting here bored, ... trying to remember that everything is a complete mystery Picture Quote #1

At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life Picture Quote #1

Time is still the great mystery to us. It is no more than a concept; we don’t know if it even exists Picture Quote #1

The mystery of light [and] the enigma of time form the twin pivots around which all my work revolves. In addition... my work attempts to create a mythology for our contemporary world Picture Quote #1

The manifestation of Truth is a mystery of Love, just as, conversely, the content of Love is a mystery of Truth Picture Quote #1

The mystery of life--its inexplicability, beauty, cruelty, tenderness, folly . . . has occupied the greater part of my waking thoughts; and in reverence or rage or irony, as the moment or situation might dictate, I have pondered and even demanded of cosmic energy to know Why Picture Quote #1

Combine a fog machine and a cotton candy maker to create delicious mystery. This is the heart of romance Picture Quote #1

I would say I am at peace with the mystery of my mother’s journals. Of course, I will always wonder, but isn’t that the creative tension of living with uncertainty? By leaving me her empty journals, my mother has made herself very present Picture Quote #1

History buffs expect historical background in historical fiction. Mystery readers expect forensics and police procedure in crime fiction. Westerns - gasp - describe the West. Techno-thriller readers expect to learn something about technology from their fiction Picture Quote #1

I’m snobby about books that aren’t crime fiction: if I start reading a literary novel and there’s no mystery emerging in the first few pages, I’m like, ‘Gah, this obviously isn’t a proper book. Why would I want to carry on reading it?’ Picture Quote #1

In America, they have specialist mystery book stores with whole sections devoted to cat mysteries, golf mysteries, quilting mysteries. It’s a hugely broad genre from the darkest noir to tales of a 19th-century vet who solves crimes, thanks to his talking cat Picture Quote #1

Any history buffs, people who like religion, suspense and mystery mixed with history, or anyone who likes ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ needs to read Ken Follett Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Just having the internet is a weird and dangerous thing because people become accustomed to knowing things when they want to know them and not having to work for it. I definitely see the value in not knowing everything and having mystery in life and mystery in people Picture Quote #1

Fun is temporary at best; it’s risky, even dangerous, at worst. Joy, on the other hand, was mystery I couldn’t seem to decipher Picture Quote #1

Rational intelligence is dangerous and leads to ratiocination. The painter is a medium who doesn’t realize what he is doing. No translation can express the mystery of sensibility, a word, still unreliable, which is nevertheless the basis of painting or poetry, like a kind of alchemy Picture Quote #1

I have always been into the darker side of things and love the mystery and sexiness of vampires Picture Quote #1
