Quotations about questions | |
He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions. Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one. You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted. The great question that has never been answered and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?" We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life. The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. I roamed the countryside searching for the answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains along with the imprints of coral and plant and seaweed usually found in the sea. Why the thunder lasts a longer time than that which causes it and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life. |
