No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.

Summary

This quote suggests that the true mystery lies in the interpretation of the observer rather than in the object itself. It implies that objects and phenomena may appear mysterious or enigmatic based on how they are perceived or viewed.

Hence, this quote highlights the subjective nature of perception and the inherent complexity of human consciousness.
