Secrecy is the element of all goodness; even virtue, even beauty is mysterious. (Alexander Lloyd)
Mystery is not profoundness. (Alexander Lloyd)
Mystery magnifies danger, as a fog the sun, the hand that warned Belshazzar derived its horrifying effect from the want of a body. (Alexander Lloyd)
The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms -- this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men. (Alexander Lloyd)
How many people make themselves abstract to appear profound. The most useful part of abstract terms are the shadows they create to hide a vacuum. (Alexander Lloyd)
What am I, Life? A thing of watery salt held in cohesion by unresting cells. Which work they know not why, which never halt, myself unwitting where their Master dwells? (Alexander Lloyd)
It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit. (Alexander Lloyd)
The fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable. (Alexander Lloyd)
At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. (Alexander Lloyd)
Where there is mystery, it is generally suspected there must also be evil. (Alexander Lloyd)
Abscond - to move in a mysterious way, commonly with the property of another. (Alexander Lloyd)
I loved all the world's mythologies. (Alexander Lloyd)
I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic. (Alexander Lloyd)
