The garden of the mysteries

Posted by PJ under certainty, mysteries, questions and answers, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“I’ve never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”

—Ken Kesey, interview, The Paris Review, No. 130, Spring 1994
