“In the end, science as we know it has two basic types of practitioners. One is the educated man who still has a controlled sense of wonder before the universal mystery, whether it hides in a snail's eye or within the light that impinges on that delicate organ. The second kind of observer is the extreme reductionist who is so busy stripping things apart that the tremendous mystery has been reduced to a trifle, to intangibles not worth troubling one's head about.” KnowsMenKindHas BeensStillsTwoEndsLightEyeScienceWonderMysteryTypeUniversalBusyExtremesEducatedControlledDelicateOrgansObserversTriflesSense Of WonderSnailStrippingEducated Man Author:Loren Eiseley
“Of all the memorable phrases that have been minted and mobilised to describe modern British royalty, 'constitutional monarchy' is virtually the only one which seemes to have neither been anticipated nor invented by Walter Bagehot. It was he who insisted that 'a princely marriage is the brilliant edition of a universal fact, and as such it rivets mankind'; and he who warned that the monarchy's 'mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic'.” Has BeensFactsMagicMysteryModernMankindUniversalBritishBrilliantPhrasesMemorableRoyaltyMonarchyDaylightBritish HistoryConstitutional Monarchy Author:David Cannadine

“There are thousands of proteins in the cells, some of them very large chains of molecules. And the cell doesn't function if one of those chains of molecules isn't there, and you start looking at the complexity of life and the mystery of life, and then start thinking about things like the twenty universal constants, that if any one of them from Plank's minimum to the mass of a proton, if one of them is the tiniest bit off, there would be no life or possibility of it in the universe.” IfsThinkingWould BeUniverseBitsMysteryPossibilityMassUniversalFunctionTwentiesChainsCellsComplexityMinimumMoleculesProteinMystery Of LifeProton Author:Dean Koontz
“When in doubt, the rule of threes is a rule that plays well with all of storytelling. When describing a thing? No more than three details. A character's arc? Three beats. A story? Three acts. An act? Three sequences. A plot point culminating in a mystery of a twist? At least three mentions throughout the tale. This is an old rule, and a good one. It's not universal - but it's a good place to start.” WritingWellsPlayCharacterStoriesThreeDoubtMysteryBeatsUniversalDetailsTalesStorytellingPlotTwistsSequenceDescribingArcsGood PlaceWhen In Doubt Author:Chuck Wendig
“It seems to me that [my films] are talking about very simple and, I hope, universal feelings. And at the same time, even though they are set in a very weird world with elements that are irrational, at the same time, it's very close to an ordinary world. And I like to have this third feeling of mystery.” WorldFeelingsSeemsFilmSimpleTalkingMysteryElementsOrdinaryThirdsUniversalIrrationalOrdinary World Author:Lucile Hadzihalilovic

If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all; and when once thou perceive this, thou wilt thenceforward grow every day to a fuller understanding of it: until thou come at last to love the whole world with a love that will then be all-embracing and universal.” IfsWorldLoveWholeLightLastsGrowsUnderstandingAnimalMysteryCreationUniversalPlantWhole WorldPerceiveSandRaysGrainLeafsAnimal LoveGrains Of SandGod's CreationRays Of LightMystery Of God Author:Fyodor Dostoevsky
“He thought about science, about faith, about man. he thought about how every culture, in every country, in every time, had always shared one thing. We all had the Creator. We used different names, different faces, and different prayers, but God was the universal constant for man. God was the symbol we all shared...the symbol of all the mysteries of life that we could not understand. The ancients had praised God as a symbol of our limitless human potential, but that ancient symbol had been lost over time.
