“Although I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question, there can indeed be stupid answers. 42 is an example. Not only is this a poor ripoff of Doug Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide, but it isn't even a prime number. Everyone surely knows that numerical answers to profound questions are always prime.”

“If more government is the answer, then it was a really stupid question.”

“It's the stupid questions that have some of the most surprising and interesting answers. Most people never think to ask the stupid questions.”

“Readiness to answer all questions is the infallible sign of stupidity.”

“I'm not stupid. I know everybody thinks I am. I just don't like answering their questions.”

“There is only one question. And once you know the answer to that question there are no more to ask. That one question is the Original Question. And to that Original Question there is only one Final Answer. But between that Question and its Answer there are innumerable false answers.”

“Indeed, mathematics is full of conjectures—questions waiting for answers—with no assurance that the answers even exist.”

“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.”

“I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question”

“I invent stories, confront one with another, and by this means I ask questions. The stupidity of people comes from having an answer to everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything.”
