Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.
Artemis felt like he was six again and caught hacking the school computers trying to make the test questions harder
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
Well, politics is much more severe than entertainment. You have to hit those points, in politics, word for word. You have to remember the date. You have to remember the website. You have to rehearse stories that might be asked, have anecdotes ready for questions that might come up.
The big discoveries raise questions that make astronomers work feverishly and argue with an agitation that verges on rudeness.
I gravitate toward the larger worldview questions such as, Why are we here? What are we supposed to be doing? What does it mean to know another person? To love someone? Of course, those questions are sort of in the background as I'm playing with language in the foreground, but those are the informing questions.
Whenever I'm confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.
A man must not stop listening any more than praying when he rises from his knees. No one questions the need of times of formal address to God, but few admit in any practical way the need of quiet waiting upon God, gazing into His face, feeling for His hand, listening for His voice.
I answer questions the best I can.
It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.
If you don't know what you're being asked to do, make sure you clarify. I think people in every business are afraid to ask questions.
I feel like I'm not smart enough to answer the questions I'm asked.
Sometimes I'll say, "I wrote that book," and the person will look at you as if you're really strange. One time that happened to my daughter on a plane. She was sitting next to a girl who was reading one of my books and my daughter said, "My mother wrote that book. " And the girl started to quiz my daughter, asking her all sorts of questions, like what are the names of Judy's children and where did she grow up. My daughter thought it was so funny.
Everywhere, authority and tradition have to justify themselves in the face of questions.
I asked myself childish questions and proceeded to answer them.
I answered their questions truthfully and honestly, but I would prefer not to say more. I assume the information was routed back and that is why I was not called to testify.
The questions are always more important than the answers.
It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think.
Poetry is like a puzzle-solving strategy for me. I like to poem my way through tricky questions and ideas. That's about the only consistent thread through my poem-creation process.
Youth is an intoxication without wine, someone says. Life is an intoxication. The only sober man is the melancholiac, who, disenchanted, looks at life, sees it as it really is, and cuts his throat. If this be so, I want to be very drunk. The great thing is to live, to clutch at our existence and race away with it in some great and enthralling pursuit. Above all, I must beware of all ultimate questions- they are too maddeningly unanswerable- let me eschew philosophy and burn Omar.
