Questions Quotes

Life flies by, and it’s easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it’s ‘How do I fit in?’ In your 20s, it’s ‘What do I want to do?’ In your 30s, ‘Is this what I’m meant to do?’ I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what’s ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are Picture Quote #1

Quite early on, and certainly since I started writing, I found that philosophical questions occupied me more than any other kind. I hadn’t really thought of them as being philosophical questions, but one rapidly comes to an understanding that philosophy’s only really about two questions: ‘What is true?’ and ‘What is good?’ Picture Quote #1

You don’t feel honest on a date, I guess. You don’t really get to learn about anyone. You’re kind of being polite and you can ask the questions, it’s just not a great time for me Picture Quote #1

Morality must relate, at some level, to the well-being of conscious creatures. If there are more and less effective ways for us to seek happiness and to avoid misery in this world - and there clearly are - then there are right and wrong answers to questions of morality Picture Quote #1

I was a real mess at school. I got a bit of a reputation for being the weird girl: the girl who’d go silent randomly and just kind of write down replies to people’s questions in a book Picture Quote #1

My typical morning involves some time on the treadmill, but obviously I skip that a lot. Mostly, I wake up, check my email, then get to work on the various interviews and questions and phone calls that come with being an author Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s weird being interviewed! Because the weird thing about being interviewed is you get asked these questions that you’ve never thought about, and you find out what you think as you answer Picture Quote #1

These big questions: Who are we? Where are we? What are we doing here? They never ask that in the mainstream. They just leave that to religions to divert people off into rigid belief systems Picture Quote #1

In a democracy, a leader must be the head teacher, someone eager to respond to doubts and questions and explain the need for and the benefits of a new course Picture Quote #1

The people who are the best in the world specialize at getting really good at the questions they don’t know Picture Quote #1

Movies work, in my opinion, on the best level when they’re more enigmatic, when we don’t say it’s this or that and where it raises more questions than answers Picture Quote #1

I don’t get asked a lot of questions about who is the best political candidate or what my position is on what the Senate is about to do Picture Quote #1

Better that I find you, God, and leave the questions unanswered, than to find the answers without finding you Picture Quote #1

The Bible is filled with intriguing stories about complex and flawed human beings who ponder immense moral questions and engage in colossal clashes with evil Picture Quote #1

I cannot too greatly emphasize the importance and value of Bible study - more important than ever before in these days of uncertainties, when men and woman are apt to decide questions from the standpoint of expediency rather than the eternal principles laid down by God, Himself Picture Quote #1

I do go against my leadership all the time because I stand firm on the four questions that I ask about all legislation. The first, is it constitutional according to the original intent? The second, does it fit the Judeo-Christian Biblical principles that our nation is founded upon? Third, do we need it? Fourth, can we afford it? Picture Quote #1

In 50 years - or 20 years, or 200 years - our current epistemic horizon (the Big Bang, roughly) may look as parochial as the horizon Newton had to settle for in his day, but no doubt there will still be good questions whose answers elude us Picture Quote #1

I had a dream of music and art and the big city in which I would get lost, where no one would know me and I wouldn’t know anyone, where I would work at some ordinary job, and if one day I got up in the morning and decided I wasn’t going to go to work anymore, no one would ask questions Picture Quote #1

I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner’s 2000-Year-Old Man’ sketch. I think it’s one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You’d never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he’s just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv Picture Quote #1

For me, the most absorbing films are those that address big questions and real ideas but embody them in small examples that we can appreciate and comprehend Picture Quote #1

If you want to ask about my drug problem, go ask my big, fat, smart, ten pound daughter, she’ll answer any questions you have about it Picture Quote #1

Take risks. Ask big questions. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; if you don’t make mistakes, you’re not reaching far enough Picture Quote #1

New questions can produce new scientific leaps. They can tiddlywink new flips of insight and understanding. Big ones. Paradigm shifts Picture Quote #1

SoulPancake’ is a website that I founded with a couple of friends, and it is for exploring life’s big questions Picture Quote #1

People forget that when you’re 16, you’re probably more serious than you’ll ever be again. You think seriously about the big questions Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I didn’t have the patience for biology or history in an academic sense, but I always liked the kind of big questions Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been slightly preoccupied with death or whatever those kind of silly big questions people will tell you to not spend your time worrying about Picture Quote #1

I think it’s really important for your mental health to think about the big questions, to discuss them and open your mind, in order to prepare you for both life and death Picture Quote #1

Speaking personally, I didn’t think 40 would be a big issue, and I don’t think I have issues about age, but there are naturally some big questions that come up at that point in your life Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in our ability to come up with the ideas necessary to solve the big questions. I have less confidence that we’ll be able to find a consensus about which ones are right without experiment Picture Quote #1
