“But I was thinking of a way To multiply by ten, And always, in the answer, get The question back again.”

“I don't have the heart to tell him that's the wrong way to think about the world. There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.”

“We get wise by asking questions, and even if these are not answered we get wise, for a well-packed question carries its answer on its back as a snail carries its shell.”

“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. ”

“Why ask a question whose answer would demand ten more questions?”

“To be able to ask a question clearly is two-thirds of the way to getting it answered.”
