Sometimes attaining the deepest familiarity with a question is our best substitute for actually having the answer.
The intellectual treatment of any datum, any experience, any subject, is determined by the nature of our questions, and only carried out in the answers.
I'm just the librarian. I can only give you the books. I can't give you the answers.
If you have a question, then find the answer.
Which questions guide our lives? Which questions do we make our own? Which questions deserve our undivided and full personal commitment? Finding the right questions is crucial to finding the answers.
I cannot look at a question and not try to find the answer, even if I don't know it.
Answers are what we are trying to get at; search is a process by which you may be able to get answers, but it's not the end goal. It's a mechanism.
As I write, invariably I encounter more questions and answer those as I go.
