I am a great admirer of mystery and magic. Look at this life – all mystery and magic.
One of our fundamental human needs is finding our partner that we hope we will stay with for the rest of our lives. You often find the same search in other genres. The mystery novel has a romance subplot. Literary novels often focus on that relationship but do not often end well.
There’s nothing more powerful than a woman who knows how to contain her power and not let it leak, standing firmly within it in mystery and silence. A woman who talks too much sheds her allure.
I walked out of a restaurant with my sister Sana and the next day it was all over the media, ‘Sooraj seen with a mystery girl’. That mystery girl was my sister. It’s not fair. They should have some protocol.
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.
I have seen a couple of episode of ‘Tantra’ and I found it quite engaging because of the mystery involved in it.

Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.
The thing I wonder about is where does Brian’s creative spark come from? Not his subjects or anything, but his spark. What makes it so great for me is that I really don’t know. There’s a mystery behind Brian, even to me.
Americans are so stiff when it comes to nudity. For me, I’ve always walked around the house naked. My husband, in real life, is like, ‘Babe, could you just put some clothes on! Keep the mystery alive!’
Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there’s nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.
You know, my brother won’t walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn’t want to be linked to me as my new ‘mystery man.’ Same with my close guy friends.
I lost a girlfriend when I was in my 30s. She was 46. It all sounds so trite, but I put a Post-it on my dressing-room wall. It said, ‘The past is history. The future is a mystery. This moment is a gift, which is why it’s called the present.’
My father’s like – it’s as if he was transparent. He’s a man of great mystery, whereas apparently N.C. Wyeth was 6-feet, 2-inches tall, with a booming voice. I think that’s reflected in their work.
For me, time is the greatest mystery of all. The fact is that we’re dreaming all the time. That’s what really gets me. We have a fathomless lake of unconsciousness just beneath our skulls.
Mystery fiction was considered a stepchild of literature.
I have never, ever, not once, met a writer who said he or she would never read a mystery or a story set in some imagined future.
Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I think it is a little bit easier for us to think about how we live, and how perhaps we’re not as special as we always think we are.
Mystery Men you can take grandma, you can take everyone to see this film.
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
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.
‘She’s a Mystery to Me’ was released in 1987, when I was 11 or something, and I absolutely adored the song. This song was written by Bono and The Edge, and the story goes that Bono woke up with the tune in his head, then thought that the only voice who could sing this song is Roy Orbison.
I go through stages with all kinds of stuff. There’ll be a couple of months where I’m reading, you know, like, fiction mystery novels, and there’ll be a couple more where I’ll be redecorating a room in my house.
I can’t say too much about it because I don’t know a lot. We’re not told what’s in store for our characters until we turn up to shoot the episode. But it’s fair to say that Betty and her son bring a brand new mystery to the street and they will be around all season.
There is no greater mystery to me than that of light traveling through darkness.
The big mystery of Big Data is causation versus correlation.
I’ve been so lucky to do different things. The world in which ‘Westworld’ takes place is so unique and bizarre, and it’s really interesting to explore that whole universe with the language and brutality going on there. With ‘Inferno,’ there’s the Dan Brown mystery.
I like scary movies. I like the mystery that leaves you wanting to watch the next one.
It’s a mystery to me why everybody doesn’t love jazz. I’ve never been able to figure that out.
For all their expertise at figuring out how things work, technical people are often painfully aware how much of human behavior is a mystery. People do things for unfathomable reasons. They are opaque even to themselves.

If there wasn’t mystery, people wouldn’t have anything to ponder. If you already knew everything, you wouldn’t have anything to think about and life would just be really boring.
Thomas Pynchon surely inaugurated or crystallized a new genre in 1963 when he published ‘V.’ The seriocomic mystery or thriller with one foot set in the present and one in various historical eras received its postmodern baptism from Pynchon.
I loved that it was about human relationships and then it was a mystery without falling into the trap of a thriller per se, because it pulled you in through people rather than through events or effects.
I started writing short stories. I tried writing horror, mystery, science fiction. I joined a little critique group here in town and ran my stories past them. After about three years, I tackled my first novel, Subterranean. It took me 11 months to write.
If you’re reading a mystery novel, you kind of want the character to solve the crime instead of completely bumble their way through it.
Nobody thinks mystery writers go around killing people, but they always seem to assume singers are singing about themselves, especially if you write melancholy songs like me.
An important part of any good mystery story like ‘Original Sin’ is that it’s not just a game of ‘Clue’ with surprise after surprise after surprise, but the goal is to tell a story in the midst of that. Even once you know the solution to the mysteries, it’s far from the whole story.
Mystery is a birthright of theology and faith, but you often do find religious people grasping for answers that shut things down and narrow what is possible.
In terms of pure volume, I probably read more psychological mystery and historical true crime than anything else.
I think I’d be a million times more successful and more iconic if I was a singer in the ’40s. I’d be allowed a level of mystery, and I think I’d suit that decade.
The Muslim heaven features prominently in the Quran, Arabic poetries and Hadith. The Jewish heaven, though, is still a mystery; it’s mystic.
There is therefore a tremendous mystery in the fact that God may be united with man and the man with God.
There isn’t any great mystery about me. What I do is glamorous and has an awful lot of white-hot attention placed on it. But the actual work requires the same discipline and passion as any job you love doing, be it as a very good pipe fitter or a highly creative artist.
One of the things that has puzzled me the most in my years of serious mystery reading is why there are relatively few standout books geared specifically for middle grade and young adult readers.
The horrid mystery hanging over us in this house gets into my head like liquor, and makes me wild.
A lot of the shows that really become hit shows are often demonstrated, like Mystery Science Theater.
As neither of these two great research scientists was able to find the solution to the mystery, it is small wonder that none of their contemporaries were able to do so either.

I think it’s great to be a mystery.
I think space and music go hand in hand in the sense that they give a little more mystery and magic to life.
I’ve seen plays that are, objectively, total messes that move me in ways that their tidier brethren do not. That’s the romantic mystery of great theater. Translating this ineffability into printable prose is a challenge that can never be fully met.
