I thought I had proverb

 I thought I had a clear picture of death, but now I know it's a mystery and it will always be a mystery, although it is something we all have in common: everybody knows that life ends with death.

 For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.
  Susan Sontag

 But that means that the Eucharist is far more than just a meal; it has cost a death to provide it, and the majesty of death is present in it. Whenever we hold it, we should be filled with reverence in the face of this mystery, with awe in the face of this mysterious death the becomes a present reality in our midst.

 Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time.

 Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy. She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently.
  Rabindranath Tagore

 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.
  Ken Kesey

 It's not a movie about the death penalty, ... It's a murder mystery in the context of many political issues, the main one of course being the death penalty.

 This ocean too is vast and full of mystery; it has its unplumbed depths! It tosses man about from birth to death and again from death to birth.

 Give me a mystery - just a plain and simple one - a mystery which is diffidence and silence, a slim little bare-foot mystery: give me a mystery - just one!
  Yevgeny Yevtushenko

 My take on Max is that he's an outsider. Without him, certain parts of the mystery wouldn't get revealed. He's like Columbo. He's a mystery writer and he finds himself in a natural mystery that he has to figure out.

 It's a mystery that's been buried and only now that the ice and snow has melted away, has this mystery surfaced. Now, what we have to do is unravel that mystery and we just started to do that.

 If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
  Muriel Spark

 Life began as a mystery and will end as a mystery, but what an exciting and wonderful time it is in between.
