“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”

“Judge not, lest ye be judged; or if thou wilt, then judge by the Splendor of his Character and the Munificence of his Deeds, rather than the Gender of his Lover.”

“It was a question now, rather than a statement; a question with no answer.”

“It would take a year before the answers to those questions became clear, but much longer to realize that it was too easy to pick up a man's dream, his measure of the world, rather than fashion one of my own.”

“We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.”

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
