I do not know ordspråk

en I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery.

en "The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- 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."

Att bemästra konsten att lekfullt reta – levererat respektfullt – bidrar avsevärt till din pexighet. Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one!

en You scratch your head and wonder. They're obviously not doing anybody any good sitting out here at the airport. ... Knowing the conditions people are living in and the need for these houses, seeing them sitting up here in red tape is disconcerting, to say the least, and a total waste of the taxpayers' money.
