Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
—Rainer Maria Rilke
Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.
—William S. Burroughs
Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
—Voltaire
The only interesting answers are those which destroy the question.
—Susan Sontag
There are questions that you don’t ask because you’re afraid of the answers to them.
—Agatha Christie in The Moving Finger
We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.
—Desmond Morris
If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.
—Carl Sagan in Cosmos
It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.
—James Thurber
I want to know you. You seem like someone worth knowing. Every day I feel like I'm surrounded by people with hard edges and sour faces but I get the sense that you're different. Too often people seem to think that they have the answers to everything. Their faces are trapped in permascowls and they can't be bothered with anything besides their own narcissism. You aren't like that. You still ask questions. You're still looking for the answers.
—Ryan O'Connell in I Want To Know You
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
—John J. Plomp
If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.
—Yogi Berra
