Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I think it is a little bit easier for us to think about how we live, and how perhaps we're not as special as we always think we are.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought.

Every life is a mystery. There is nobody whose life is normal and boring.

If there wasn't mystery, people wouldn't have anything to ponder. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have anything to think about and life would just be really boring.

We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.

Life and consciousness are the two great mysteries. Actually, their substrates are the inanimate. And how do you get from neurons shooting around in the brain to the thought that pops up in your head and mine? There's something deeply mysterious about that. And if you're not struck by the mystery, I think you haven't thought about it.

I think it's better that life is kind of like a mystery, I think that's what drives us.

My life was a mystery even as I lived it.

I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.
