Cate Blanchett Quotes

I think doubt is a very healthy way to live.

Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.

I think the appropriate kind of skepticism is this: you've got to be asking questions all the time, you've also got to make sure that you're doing so in the spirit of genuinely wanting to find the answers - and that also means being open. I battle with this: I know I tend to be very skeptical and as a result, I veer towards the dismissive. But being aware of the tendency, I like to challenge my own skepticism and make sure it's not just knee-jerk. You need to be skeptical towards yourself as well. When you're only skeptical outwards you've got an unbalanced skepticism.

Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers.

Whatever we think about and question a lot becomes questionable.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.

The minute we begin to think we have all the answers, we forget the questions.

Question everything!

My only weapon is the question.

In philosophy you're never 100% sure. You're always undermining what you think you know. That's always been my philosophy and my intellectual ethos.

We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.

I am too much of a sceptic to deny the possibility of anything...

My skepticism is strong, but my curiosity is stronger.

No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions.

I think that probably the most important thing about our education was that it taught us to question even those things we thought we knew.

If you haven't doubted, you probably haven't thought very hard about what you believe.

O my body, make of me always a man who questions!

Great intellects are skeptical.

Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
