“An infinite question is often destroyed by finite answers. To define everything is to annihilate much that gives us laughter and joy.”

“But I did feel, and passionately, that it wasn't fair of God to give us brains enough to ask the ultimate questions if he didn't intend to teach us the answers.”

“It is possible to suffer and despair an entire lifetime and still not give up the art of laughter.”

“The minute we begin to think we have all the answers, we forget the questions.”

“I am not some kind of computer. Only machines have glib answers for everything.”

“Questions are disturbing, especially those which may threaten our traditions, our institutions, our security. But questions never threaten the living God, who is constantly calling us, and who affirms for us that love is stronger than hate, blessings stronger than cursing.”

“If I sit for a while, then my impatience, crossness, frustration, are indeed annihilated, and my sense of humor returns.”
