“Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from.
Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go
When the whole thing's done.
But no one knows for certain
And so it's all the same to me.
I think I'll just let the mystery be.”

Iris DeMent (1961) American singer and songwriter

“Well, I'm not talkin' bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin' bout two lonely people
Who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin' bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin' bout hooking up and hanging out,
I'm just talkin' bout tonight.”

“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ast. And that in wondering bout the big things and asting bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, he say, the more I love.”

“Some things just come without any real understanding. I don't bother to question it or myself anymore.”

Russell Crowe (1964) New Zealand-born Australian actor, film producer and musician

Interview with Paula Nechak (1997)
Context: Some things just come without any real understanding. I don't bother to question it or myself anymore. If you get into a situation like L. A. Confidential, where you can just totally get inside the character, that's a privileged position. Now that I'm more aware of the process I realize it's the position you always want to aim for.
