Mysteries

Famous quotes containing the word mysteries:

    My soule her wings doth spread
    And heaven-ward flies,
    Th’ Almighty’s Mysteries to read
    In the large volumes of the skies.
    William Habington (1605–1654)

    Haiti is full of nonsense and superstition. They’re always mixed up with a lot of mysteries that’ll turn your hair gray.
    —Garnett Weston. Victor Halperin. Dr. Brunner (Joseph Cawthorn)

    I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.
    William Hurlbut (1883–?)
