Question Quotes

One of the cheapest commodities in the world is unfulfilled genius. All of us want to be known as a unique individual, the one who broke out of the pack. So, you offer yourself up as a sacrifice and what you’re afraid of is losing and being thrown back into the pack. One question taunts you. Do you want to have, or do you want to be? Picture Quote #1

I refuse to turn to theology to justify the life or redeem it. There is a question always of the connection to the eternal. I say to myself above all, keep alive your conviction that there are sacred elements in the life in the practice of the life that must be respected. But the conviction in the existence of the sacred does not necessarily imply that you need to believe in a creator, because we are the ones that made the sacred Picture Quote #1

As you see, it is not that I don’t know my own mind, I know it very well but only up to a certain point in the matter. I know perfectly well what the question is. It’s the answer I want Picture Quote #1

That’s my answer to the question what is your strongest emotion, if you ever want to ask me: Curiosity, old bean. Curiosity every time Picture Quote #1

And what greater might do we possess as human beings than our capacity to question and to learn? Picture Quote #1

Shall I tell you why young men love war?... In peace, there are a hundred questions with a thousand answers! In war, there is only one question with one right answer... Going to war makes you a man. It is emotionally exciting and morally restful Picture Quote #1

What a sad story, I thought for so long. Not that I now think it was happy. But I think it is true, and thus the question of whether it is sad or happy has no meaning whatever Picture Quote #1

Most great works of the imagination were meant to make you feel like a stranger in your own home. The best fiction always forced us to question what we took for granted. It questioned traditions and expectations when they seemed to immutable Picture Quote #1

The question is whether any civilization can wage relentless war on life without destroying itself, and without losing the right to be called civilized Picture Quote #1

My question is, do you believe in an evil possessed of its own purity? or does every act intend some good? Picture Quote #1

The pain, or the memory of pain, that here was literally sucked away by something nameless until only a void was left. The knowledge that this question was possible: pain that turns finally into emptiness. The knowledge that the same equation applied to everything, more or less Picture Quote #1

The size of your body is just right. The only question is whether you’re big enough inside Picture Quote #1

By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird? Picture Quote #1

These short stories are vast structures existing mostly in the subconscious of our cultural history. They will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams. That’s because a good short story crosses the borders of our nations and our prejudices and our beliefs. A good short story asks a question that can’t be answered in simple terms. And even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything Picture Quote #1

The crux of the matter is whether total war in its present form is justifiable, even when it serves a just purpose. Does it not have material and spiritual evil as its consequences which far exceed whatever good might result? When will our moralists give us an answer to this question? Picture Quote #1

Once evil is individualized, becoming part of everyday life, the way of resisting it also becomes individual. How does the soul survive? is the essential question. And the response is: through love and imagination Picture Quote #1

Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end? Picture Quote #1

The question the doubter does not ask is whether faith was really useless or simply not used. What would you think of a boy who gave up learning to ride a bicycle, complaining that he hurt himself because his bicycle stopped moving so he had no choice but to fall off? If he wanted to sit comfortably while remaining stationary, he should not have chosen a bicycle but a chair. Similarly faith must be put to use, or it will become useless Picture Quote #1

This cell belongs to a brain, and it is my brain, the brain of me who is writing; and the cell in question, and within it the atom in question, is in charge of my writing, in a gigantic minuscule game which nobody has yet described. It is that which at this instant, issuing out of a labyrinthine tangle of yeses and nos, makes my hand run along a certain path on the paper, mark it with these volutes that are signs: a double snap, up and down, between two levels of energy, guides this hand of mine to impress on the paper this dot, here, this one Picture Quote #1

For an answer which cannot be expressed the question too cannot be expressed. The riddle does not exist Picture Quote #1

It’s the same questions we ask of our existence, and the answer is always the same. The mystery lies not in the question nor the answer, but in the asking and answering themselves, over and over again, and the end is engendered in the beginning Picture Quote #1

By dawn he had surrendered, gratefully, to the old inertia, the product of always seeing both sides of every question Picture Quote #1

If you ask a living teacher a question, he will probably answer you. If you are puzzled by what he says, you can save yourself the trouble of thinking by asking him what he means. If, however, you ask a book a question, you must answer it yourself. In this respect a book is like nature or the world. When you question it, it answers you only to the extent that you do the work of thinking an analysis yourself Picture Quote #1

I have written letters that are failures, but I have written few, I think, that are lies. Trying to reach a person means asking the same question over and over again: Is this the truth, or not? I begin this letter to you, then, in the western tradition. If I understand it, the western tradition is: Put your cards on the table Picture Quote #1

She holds herself with such reserve. She smiles, but the smile doesn’t reach her eyes, even in the company of the girls she’s chosen to eat with. Why? I have no clue, and I really don’t want to spend my time worrying about it. But my brain pushes at the question anyway. Why are people aloof? Because they don’t want to let others in. Why don’t they want to let others in? Well, sometimes because they’re shy, and sometimes because they’re convinced of their own superiority. But those aren’t the only reasons. Sometimes it’s because thay have something to hide Picture Quote #1

The novels were an escape from reality in the sense that we could marvel at their beauty and perfection. Curiously, the novels we escaped into led us finally to question and prod our own realities, about which we felt so helplessly speechless Picture Quote #1

In a calm, clear voice, she suggested that the wyrsa in question could do several highly improbable, athletically difficult and possibly biologically impractical things involving its own mother, a few household implements, and a dead fish Picture Quote #1

Ostara, if one dies while in these othere states of consciousness, one dies indeed. this begs the question, are dreams truly only ever dreams? Picture Quote #1

There have been plenty of chances to close my eyes and go back to the sleep of my life as it was, but I hadn’t taken any of them. Do I wish now that I had? It’s hard to answer that question, as the wraiths move closer Picture Quote #1

For I did not want him to see, or to question me, for here contains already secrets, and my secrets are my fortune and my sanity Picture Quote #1
