“Faced with an exciting question, science tended to provide the dullest possible answer.”
“The excitement that science possess is its ability to answer the big questions.”
“The question is always the answer, provided you want the answer badly enough.”
“Man’s curiosity drives him to seek the answer to every question. But it’s the unanswered questions that are the most exciting.”
“Myths, whether in written or visual form, serve a vital role of asking unanswerable questions and providing unquestionable answers. Most of us, most of the time, have a low tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. We want to reduce the cognitive dissonance of not knowing by filling the gaps with answers. Traditionally, religious myths have served that role, but today — the age of science — science fiction is our mythology.”
“It's the duty of art to ask questions, not to provide answers. And if you want a clearer answer, I'll have to pass.”
