102 Best Question Quotes That Have Some Of Life's Answers

Questions

If you ask a stupid question, you may feel stupid; if you don't ask a stupid question, you remain stupid. Not our words, but those of Tony Rothman. And they ring so true.

It has also been said that there's no such thing as a stupid question. Asking questions, no doubt, is the surest way to knowledge and to get rid of ignorance.

If you want to learn fast, you do so by asking questions. If you want to understand someone better, you also ask questions.

But many times we will have all these questions running through our minds but choose to seal them up. Can you count the number of times you wanted to ask a question but held yourself back?

Mostly, we keep our questions to ourselves because of fear. You are scared of how the other person will react, how people will view you, or of being seen as dumb.

As long as you don't seek clarity about something, you remain not knowing, guessing, wondering, and, most times, wishing you had shot your shot and asked the question.

Asking questions can result from curiosity and sometimes it's a show that someone cares. If someone is worried about you and what you have been up to, they will ask questions. This will set apart someone who really cares about you from someone who doesn't.

Although some people will readily give novel-long stories to simple questions, others will give one-word answers to open-ended questions.

For example, you may ask someone ‘What did you do today?' And they'll answer ‘Yes.' That simply shows that they are done with the conversation and aren't open to any more questions.

Not everyone is an open book and not everyone will be able to answer your questions the way you need them answered. But our ‘questions' quotes could have some answers for you.

Questions Quotes

But now that I have you here, Yuki, there is something I've been dying to ask you: Why did you skip the New Year's Banquet? Why did you think to do such a thing? I've been quite tolerant lately, have I not? And the fact that you would do something like that, you should know it hurts me deeply. Perhaps I need to take some time to re-educate you, in that little room, the one I keep especially for you.

Gabrielle: I need to ask you a question. Manuel: Of course. Gabrielle: Why did you leave us? I'm just trying to understand why you would just go like that. Manuel: Okay. Because one day, I looked at your mother and you, and realized you both didn't mean anything to me anymore. I know it's hard to understand. But I wasted time being with you and her. And she f**king dies and leaves me with you, who I never wanted. Any more questions? You don't need to come back.

Sometimes I could see that others in the class did not understand what W.W. Schieffelin Claytor was teaching. So I would ask questions to help them. He’d tell me that I should know the answer, and I finally had to tell him that I did know the answer, but the other students did not. I could tell.

And I vaguely remember Lara smiling at me from the doorway, the glittering ambiguity of a girl’s smile, which seems to promise an answer to the question but never gives it. The question, the one we’ve all been asking since girls stopped being gross, the question that is too simple to be uncomplicated: Does she like me or LIKE me?

This poor Sufi dressed in rags walked into a jewelry store owned by a rich merchant and asked him, “Do you know how you’re going to die?” The merchant answered, “No. No one knows how they’re going to die.” And the Sufi said, “I do.” “How?” asked the merchant. And the Sufi lay down, crossed his arms, said, “Like this,” and died, whereupon the merchant promptly gave up his store to live a life of poverty in pursuit of the kind of spiritual wealth the dead Sufi had acquired.

The final exam: What is the most important question human beings must answer? Choose your question wisely, and then examine how Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity attempt to answer it.

What's your most important question?" After thirty seconds of running, I was already winded. "What happens... to us... when we die?"

"Is this why you want to leave, Miles?" Mom asked. I mulled it over for a while, careful not to look at her. "Uh, no," I said. "Well, why then?" she asked.

I never liked writing concluding paragraphs to papers — where you repeat what you've already said with phrases like 'In summation', and 'To conclude'. I didn’t do that — instead I talked about why I thought it was an important question.

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

The women did what they were told to do. They didn’t ask questions or take the task any further. I asked questions; I wanted to know why. They got used to me asking questions and being the only woman there.

Too pissed off to cry, I said, 'This is only making me hate her. I don't want to hate her. And what's the point, if that's all it's making me do?' Still refusing to answer how and why questions. Still insisting on an aura of mystery. I leaned forward, head between by knees, and the Colonel placed a head on my upper back. 'The point is that there are always alsweres, Pudge.' And then he pushed air out between his pursed lips and I could hear the angry quiver in his voice as he repeated, 'There are always answers. We just have to be smart enough.'

Because everybody who has ever lost their way in life has felt the nagging insistence of that question. At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze, and I don’t want us to forget Alaska, and I don’t want to forget that even when the material we study seems boring, we’re trying to understand how people have answered that question and the questions each of you posed in your papers — how different traditions have come to terms with what Chip, in his final, called ‘people’s rotten lots in life.’

Almost relationships mostly end without closure. You may never know why things ended or why it fizzled out, was it you or was it them—and so many other unanswered questions. You will learn that if the relationship was never defined in the first place, then it will end without explanations too.
