“I lived, particularly in childhood but with lessening intensity right on to middle age, in a world that was peculiarly and intimately my own, scarcely to be shared with others or even made plausible to them. I habitually read special meanings into things, scenes and places qualities of wonder, beauty, promise, or horror for which there was no external evidence visible or plausible to others. My world was peopled with mysteries, seductive hints, vague menaces, "intimations of immortality.” WorldMadeAgeMy OwnQualityWonderMysteryChildhoodMiddleSpecialPromiseHorrorSceneEvidenceImmortalityVisibleIntensityVagueMiddle AgesHintsSeductiveMenacePlausible Book:MEMOIRS 1925-1950 Source: MEMOIRS 1925-1950
“People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for god, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away from the mystery, to take away from the fear.” PeopleGivingTryingLooksNamesMysteryEvidenceScientistSaint Author:Dakota Fanning
“How could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.” KnowsBelieveI CanAsksMysteryHavensEvidenceAsk MeExplanationAweBelieve In GodMysticalAwe Inspiring Author:Jodie Foster
“I enjoy places that have mystery and atmosphere, perhaps a patina of age, a suggestion rather than a description, a question or two. I look for memories, traces, evidence of the human interaction with the landscape. Sometimes I photograph pure nature, sometimes urban structures.” HumansLooksTwoSometimesAgeEnjoyMemoriesMysteryPureEvidenceStructurePhotographLandscapeAtmosphereDescriptionInteractionUrbanSuggestions Author:Michael Kenna
“The hardest mysteries to solve are the ones you come to near the end, because there isn't enough evidence, not enough to unravel, unless somehow you can go all the way back to the beginning - rewind and replay everything.” WayEndsEnoughMysteryEvidenceSolveHardestReplayRewind Book:Cross Country: (Alex Cross 14) Source: Cross Country: (Alex Cross 14)
“Among the hundreds of so-called "UFO reports" each year, a sizable fraction of those clearly observed by reputable witnesses remain unexplained-and difficult to explain in conventional terms. There is a modicum of physical evidence, radar cases, residual effects, and some films-and photographs in support of the unexplained cases. Collectively, these cases constitute a genuine scientific mystery, badly in need of well-supported, systematic investigation.” NeedsYearsWellsFilmDifficultTermCasesSupportMysteryEffectsEvidencePhotographGenuineWitnessReportsInvestigationConventionalUfoFractionsSystematicRadarUnexplainedResidual Author:Richard Hall
