“Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way. Being explicit doesn't tap into the mystical aspect of it either in fact, that usually kills it because people don't want to see sex so much as they want to experience the emotions that go along with it. These things are hard to convey in film because sex is such a mystery.” PeopleWayWantHardFactsFilmSexPowerfulEmotionMysteryAspectFlatsMysticalDoorwaysExplicit Author:David Lynch
“Because we remember pain and the menace of death more vividly than pleasure, and because our feelings toward the beneficent aspects of the unknown have from the first been captured and formalised by conventional religious rituals, it has fallen to the lot of the darker and more maleficent side of cosmic mystery to figure chiefly in our popular supernatural folklore.” FirstsFeelingsPainRememberSidesReligiousPleasureMysteryFiguresAspectFallenRitualCosmicConventionalCapturedMenaceFolkloreReligious RitualsMaleficent Book:The Complete Fiction Collection vol III Source: The Complete Fiction Collection vol III
“One of the things that did intrigue me about when I read the pilot - because I had not read the books before doing the show - was the mystery aspect of it. I didn't feel that it was just a crime-based story. It really does have that mystery element, and it felt like a throwback to other shows in the past that had a bit more of that. There was something iconic about it. The fact that it's set in Boston gave it a feeling that was different to me. So, I am definitely more of a fan of mysteries than I am of a circular crime-based genre.” FeelsDoeBookDifferentFactsStoriesShowsFeelingsPastFeltBitsMysteryFansCrimeElementsAspectGenrePilotsIntrigueBostonIconicThrowback Author:Sasha Alexander

“A myth... is a metaphor for a mystery beyond human comprehension. It is a comparison that helps us understand, by analogy, some aspect of our mysterious selves.

“We are living in an inspiring and unimaginably large universe. Contemplating the immensity of our cosmos can make you feel very small and insignificant. But think about it. You have 37.2 trillion cells in your body. There is vastness outside you and vastness inside you.

“Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition.

“It is part of our nature to survive.
