Language was invented to ask questions. Answers may be given by grunts and gestures, but questions must be spoken. Humanness came of age when man asked the first question. Social stagnation results not from a lack of answers but from the absence of the impulse to ask questions.

Eric Hoffer

I don't write books because I have answers. I write books because I have questions. What we are is the questions that we ask, not the answers that we provide. It's all about the process of self-examination. I think that's what the best writing always contains.

John Edgar Wideman

I'm interested in making films that ask questions and don't particularly provide answers.

Bernhard Schlink

The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.

Claude Levi-Strauss

The most important discoveries will provide answers to questions that we do not yet know how to ask and will concern objects we have not yet imagined.

John N. Bahcall

So many reporters ask a lot of crazy questions. The answers to most of these questions are so obvious, but they ask them anyway just to see what kind of reaction they can get out of you.

Monty Williams

Rarely does an interviewer ask questions you did not expect. I have given a lot of interviews, and I have concluded that the questions always look alike. I could always give the same answers.

Italo Calvino

I think that artists provide questions, not answers. We provide provocations rather than fully formed objects.

Kehinde Wiley

'Apocalypse Now' poses questions without any attempt to provide definitive answers, and the film's profound ambiguities are integral to its enduring magic.
