“Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.”
“Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.”
“... a rhetorical question. It has a question mark at the end, but you are not meant to answer it because the person who is asking it already knows the answer.”
“He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.”
“The book answers questions other people have thought of. I have thought of questions they have not answered. I always thought my questions were wrong questions because no one else asked them. Maybe no one thought of them. Maybe darkness got there first. Maybe I am the first light touching a gulf of ignorance.Maybe my questions matter.”
“The mind can ask all the questions on the meaning of life. But it cannot answer one of them, for the answers are beyond the mind.”
