Questions Asked

Famous quotes containing the words questions and/or asked:

    Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.
    Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    He said the dead had souls, but when I asked him
    How could that be—I thought the dead were souls,
    He broke my trance. Don’t that make you suspicious
    That there’s something the dead are keeping back?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
