I think it's important to have mystique.

In the absence of evidence, superstition. It's a Middle Ages thing. That's my theory anyway.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

Rare is the union of beauty and purity.

If we were to inspect ourselves or members of our family and our friends, we would see that we don't really have to go all the way overseas to be mystified - we can be mystified right at home.

It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions.

I am a very superstitious person.

I had a great grandmother who believed in so many strange superstitions. She used to tell the future from the things that catch on to the hem of your skirt when you've been sewing, and different colored threads would mean different things... Of course, all that influenced me quite a lot as a child.

Superstition is the poison of the mind.

The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
