"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-- 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."
