Edgar Allan PoeMysteries force a man to think, and so injure his health.
About This Quote
As a child, we were fascinated by the mystery of how things worked. We simply couldn’t understand how things work and we didn’t know why they worked that way. The more we tried to figure out these mysteries, the more confused we became and the less we understood. Mysteries do not help us gain knowledge or understanding; rather, they only serve to make us less knowledgeable and less understanding.
