The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science….To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches only indirectly….
From the new biography of Einstein by Walter Isaacson.
I like this idea of Einstein's that mystery is an emotion.
