Many of the questions we ask God can't be answered directly, not because God doesn't know the answers but because our questions don't make sense. As C.S.

Here's to possibilities of friendship and connection and understanding.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Like any good shaman, professional baseball player, or politician, my mother always answered questions with questions.

Sherman Alexie

The Hubble Space Telescope is more than remarkable. It has answered just so many of those fundamental questions that people have been asking about the cosmos since people were able to ask questions.

John M. Grunsfeld
