Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.

Limitations, be they practical or arbitrary, force artists to dig more deeply instead of settling for easy answers.

You have to learn to ask questions in a way that will elicit more nuanced answers, rather than the answers you would like to get.

The main questions of everyday life are too enormous to answer in any definitive sense.

I think if you're forthright and answer a lot of questions, sometimes you'll get people who won't let you answer the questions, and that makes for a difficult answer.

It is easy to answer the ultimate questions - it saves you bothering with the immediate ones.

If most people are not willing to see the difficulty, this is mainly because, consciously or unconsciously, they assume that it will be they who will settle these questions for the others, and because they are convinced of their own capacity to do this.

What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.

Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.
