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?

Which questions guide our lives? Which questions do we make our own? Which questions deserve our undivided and full personal commitment? Finding the right questions is crucial to finding the answers.

Henri Nouwen

We may not find the answers. We may not find Bigfoot. We may not find a chupacabra. We may not find out who was responsible for killing JFK, but we're going to keep looking, asking, probing. And one day - you know what? - we may get some of those answers.

George Noory

I'd rather have all my questions unanswered and walk with God than not walk with God and have all my questions answered.

Rick Warren
