The marvelous thing about a good question is that it shapes our identity as much by the asking as it does by the answering.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When there's an authentic mystery, as opposed to just a question being asked, that's what makes you lean forward.
The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.
What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.
Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
I wanted to answer big questions about humanity, about how it is that we understand about the world, how we can know as much as we do, why human nature is the way that it is. And it always seemed to me that you find answers to those questions by looking at children.
The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.
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.
There's no such thing as identity: it's something we have to believe in to make life more tolerable.
People ask me so many questions.
People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.
