“By the time we began to understand enough about what the world to ask the right questions, our visit is over, and someone else is visiting, asking the same questions.”

“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. ”

“This profusion of questions, exclamations, and tales is the new version of the Society. Its members are spread all over the world, but they are joined by their love of books, of talking about books, and of their fellow readers. We are transformed each time we pass a book along, each time we ask a question about it.”

“Everybody asks the same questions -- but they don't know that they ask the same questions.”

“Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?'/Let us go and make our visit.”

“It is not foolish to ask a question of the world. We of Vlar-rei make songs or our questions. It is only foolish to want answers.”
