We have to have our dark corners

Hmm, do people think this is true? I've probably strangled a thing or two with explanations. The context, commenting on the self-reflection and psychology of the 20th Century, is interesting. (H/T Austin Kleon)

We have to have our dark corners and the unexplained. We will become uninhabitable in a way an apartment will become uninhabitable if you illuminate every single dark corner and under the table and wherever—you cannot live in a house like this anymore. And you cannot live with a person anymore—let’s say in a marriage or a deep friendship—if everything is illuminated, explained, and put out on the table.

— Werner Herzog

Henceforth I shall be inscrutable. And why have I never seen a Werner Herzog film?
