“some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.”

“She studied my face for a long minute. "Are you going to help my mom?" It was a simple question. But how do you tell a child that things just aren't that simple, that some questions don't have simple answers--or any answer at all?”

“There are some questions that shouldn't be asked until a person is mature enough to appreciate the answers.”

“Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

You never answered my question and it was very important.

ARE YOU BALD?”

“Quize is a luck game.
If you are lucky enough, you will win.
It would be fair if they would let everyone answer to the same question.”

“Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.”

“Questions are great, but only if you know the answers. If you ask questions and the answers surprise you, you look silly.”

“If you are thinking about something that happened a long time ago:
Somebody asked you a question and you did not know the answer.
That is my name.”

“You have questions—urgent questions—I know that. And what makes them urgent is that you have in your mind the answers you want to hear. You will be more and more angry if you do not get those answers, but some can’t be given as you would hear them, because they would not be true.”

“It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer.”
