Notable quotes

“"Winwood Reade is good upon the subject," said Holmes. "He remarks that, while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician."”
— Arthur Conan Doyle, in The Sign of Four (1890), Ch. 10, p. 137; this actually differs from Reade's remarks in his The Martyrdom of Man (1872), where he states: "As a single atom man is an enigma: as a whole he is a mathematical problem."
“Only he is an artist who can make a riddle out of a solution.”
— Karl Kraus, Half-Truths and One-And-A-Half Truths (1976)
“There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to puzzles, enigmas, and allegories.”
— Stanley Kubrick, as quoted in Kubrick : Inside a Film Artist's Maze (2000) by Thomas Allen Nelson, p. 10
“If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you.”
— Don Marquis, in archy and mehitabel (1927)
“Veronica solves little puzzles because she, like all of us, cannot unravel the bigger ones.”
