Questions Asked

Famous quotes containing the words questions and/or asked:

    Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.
    Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    You said, “They’re harmless dreamers and they’re loved by the people.”M”What,” I asked you, “is harmless about a dreamer, and what,” I asked you, “is harmless about the love of the people?—Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams.”
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
