Animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
George Eliot
Who questions much, shall learn much, and retain much.
Francis Bacon
A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.
When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand.
C.S. Lewis
Ask with urgency and passion.

Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
Joseph Wood Krutch
What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want. They always laugh about that because they realize it's so true. Without asking you already have failed, you already have nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.
Marcia Martin

Richard Bach, Running from Safet

Monsieur Bienvenu was simply a man who accepted these mysterious questions...and who had in his soul a deep respect for the mystery which enveloped them.
Victor Hugo
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a
You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!
