Mystery and Wonder

The most beautiful thing we can experience

is the mysterious.

It is the source of all true art and all science.

He to whom this emotion is a stranger,

who can no longer pause to wonder

and stand rapt in awe,

is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists...

this knowledge, this feeling,

is the centre of true religiousness.

Albert Einstein
