More From Pierre Schaeffer

But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. ... mystery is the antagonist of truth. it is a fog of human invention, that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. truth never envelops itself in mystery, and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.

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, but 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.

This element of surprise or mystery — the detective element as it is sometimes rather emptily called — is of great importance in a plot. it occurs through a suspension of the time-sequence; a mystery is a pocket in time, and it occurs crudely, as in "why did the queen die?" and more subtly in half-explained gestures and words, the true meaning of which only dawns pages ahead. mystery is essential to a plot, and cannot be appreciated without intelligence.

If much in the world were mystery the limits of that world were not, for it was without measure or bound and there were contained within it creatures more horrible yet and men of other colors and beings which no man has looked upon and yet not alien none of it more than were their own hearts alien in them, whatever wilderness contained there and whatever beasts.
