Emile Zola:If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud. Gabriela Mistral:We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot.

Ionesco:It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.
Levi-Strauss:The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions. Iannis Xenakis:"Music is not a language.

Stanislaw Lem:There are no answers, only choices. Jean Piaget:Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.Play is the work of childhood.

Anton Chekhov:The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them. Mario Benedetti:I know I will love you without questions, I know you will love me without answers. W. Burroughs:Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. Saramago:Your questions are false if you already know the answer. Norman Mailer:Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer.

Sigmund Freud:The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?”
Voltaire:Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
