A Quote by Robert Sternberg

Current intelligence-testing practices require examinees to answer but not to pose questions. In requiring only the answering of questions, these tests are missing a vital half of intelligence- the asking of questions.

Art can end up answering questions or asking questions. But when it's not connected to actual movements, it doesn't ask the right questions.

Boots Riley

In general, questions are fine; you can always seize upon the parts of them that interest you and concentrate on answering those. And one has to remember when answering questions that asking questions isn't easy either, and for someone who's quite shy to stand up in an audience to speak takes some courage.

Vikram Seth

In a way, math isn't the art of answering mathematical questions, it is the art of asking the right questions, the questions that give you insight, the ones that lead you in interesting directions, the ones that connect with lots of other interesting questions -the ones with beautiful answers.

Gregory Chaitin

I'm really much better at asking questions than answering them, since asking questions is like a constant deflection of oneself.

Christopher Bollen

As human beings, don't we need questions without answers as well as questions with answers, questions that we might someday answer and questions that we can never answer?

Alan Lightman

Leadership isn't answering the questions others ask. Leadership is asking others to answer their own questions.

Simon Sinek

If you don't put the spiritual and religious dimension into our political conversation, you won't be asking the really big and important question. If you don't bring in values and religion, you'll be asking superficial questions. What is life all about? What is our relationship to God? These are the important questions. What is our obligation to one another and community? If we don't ask those questions, the residual questions that we're asking aren't as interesting.

Larry Brilliant

I'm a big believer in pose some questions and then answer a few of them before you move onto the next set of questions.

Jonathan Nolan

I never challenged control of the band. Basically, all I did was start asking questions. There's an old adage in Hollywood amongst managers: 'Pay your acts enough money that they don't ask questions.' And I started asking questions.

Don Felder

It's great to be in the position of asking questions and not having to answer questions.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I really don't think art is good at answering questions. It's much better at posing questions - and even better at simply asking people to open their eyes.

Trevor Paglen

I have no problem with answering questions honestly or even looking outside the box and answering private questions.

Ilkay Gundogan

Questions are the important thing, answers are less important. Learning to ask a good question is the heart of intelligence. Learning the answer-well, answers are for students. Questions are for thinkers.

Roger Schank

I'm good at asking other people questions, but I'm not really good at answering questions.

Samantha Bee

Upon the great questions of origin, of destiny, of immortality, of . . . other worlds, every honest man must say, 'I do not know.' Upon these questions, this is the creed of intelligence.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers. A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.

Milan Kundera
