“Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and miss the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and miss the chance
to return to innocence”

“We can pull atoms apart, peer back at the first light and predict the end of the universe with just a handful of equations, squiggly lines and arcane symbols that normal people cannot fathom, even though they hold sway over their lives. But it's not just regular folks; even scientists no longer comprehend the world. Take quantum mechanics, the crown jewel of our species, the most accurate, far-ranging and beautiful of all our physical theories. It lies behind the supremacy of our smartphones, behind the Internet, behind the coming promise of godlike computing power. It has completely reshaped our world. We know how to use it, it works as if by some strange miracle, and yet there is not a human soul, alive or dead, who actually gets it. The mind cannot come to grips with its paradoxes and contradictions. It's as if the theory had fallen to earth from another planet, and we simply scamper around it like apes, toying and playing with it, but with no true understanding.”
― Benjamín Labatut, When We Cease to Understand the World

“If you understand or if you don't

“The world was made of mysteries, and I was only another riddle among the millions. I did not answer him, and though he pretended frustration, I began to see that it pleased him in some strange way. A door that did not open at his knock was a novelty in its own right, and a kind of relief as well. All the world confessed to him. He confessed to me.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe

“El misterio de vivir, es la razón del enigma de la vida.”
― Alejandro Mos Riera

“Queres acaso te ver livre da melancolia?
Queres prazer, mas longe da louca agonia?
Queres ler enigmas, e sua precisa solução,
Ou preferes te afogar na tua contemplação?
Queres a carne? Será não preferes, destarte,
Ver um homem nas nuvens, ouvindo falar-te?
Anseias ver-te num sonho, mas sem dormir?
Ou não preferes a um só tempo chorar e rir?
Não te atrai a ti mesmo te perderes sem dano?
Pra depois te achares sem passe sobre-humano?
Queres tu mesmo ler, sem sequer saber o quê,
Sabendo, porém por essas linhas mesmas que lês,
Se estás ou não abençoado? Ah, vem, então,
E abre meu livro, uma só mente, um só coração.”
― John Bunyan, O Peregrino

“Nothing is more complex than simplification; what art takes from enigma it more than replenishes in the instantiation of itself, in the labyrinthine puzzle it plants in history. The intensification of enigma. The luxuriantly problematic loam of existence is built out of the sedimented aeons of residues deposited by the will to power, the impulse to create.”
― Nick Land, Fanged Noumena: Collected Writings, 1987–2007

“She wrapper herself in an enigma, there was no other way to keep warm.”

But have you tried to talk to your crush?
It's when the possible becomes impossible,
Like an enigma resolved in a rush!”
― Newart

“There is only one way to finish, and that is to swallow your umbrella and thus, at the same time, the possibility of opening it: the image of death and rigor mortis.
But there are two ways to be free of your end again. Either not fully to use your capabilities (the man who doesn't open his umbrella even when it is raining) or to pass beyond your capabilities into an undefined field (for example, opening your umbrella even when it is not raining). The problem remains one of knowing whether you can pass beyond without going to the very end. In other words, whether you can become immortal without passing through death. Now, beyond the end, we do not know what happens. The umbrella's enigma remains unsolved.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Fragments

“...when a person, instead of adopting metaphors that come naturally and opportunely in his way, rummages the whole world in quest of them, and piles them one upon another; when he cannot so properly be said to use metaphor as to talk in metaphor, or rather when from metaphor he runs into allegory, and thence into enigma, his words are not the immediate signs of his thought; they are at best but the signs of the signs of his thought.”
― George Campbell, The Philosophy of Rhetoric

― Ipsita Upasana, Inexplicable Distances

“It was as if you were listening to the rhythm, but you do not know why the music is feeling so familiar yet ethereal. Or why you continue listening to it even though you could have stopped and moved on? The enigma was probably what made it charming in the first place.”
― Ipsita Upasana, Inexplicable Distances

“Sometimes talking to him felt like she was skating over a lake of thin ice. She could hear the cracks forming but was never sure where they were coming from, or how many fathoms deep she might be dragged before she could ever really get to know him at all.”
― Nenia Campbell, Raise the Blood
