Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fi

Summary

This quote suggests that questions do not necessarily reflect reality, but are our fictional interpretations or attempts to understand and make sense of the world. Similarly, the answers we provide are not always based on truth or factual evidence, but can range from being pure fabrications to wildly imaginative guesses. It highlights the subjective nature of questioning and the uncertainty of finding concrete answers, implying that our knowledge and understanding are often limited and influenced by our own perspectives and imagination.

By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear. Dare to look in thy chest; for 'Tis thine own: And tumble up and down what thou findst there. Who cannot rest till he good fellows find, he breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
