Famous quotes containing the word questions:

    The grand Perhaps! We look on helplessly,
    There the old misgivings, crooked questions are.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    There are no other questions than these,
    Half squashed in mud, emerging out of the moment
    We all live, learning to like it. No sonnet
    On this furthest strip of land....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    To the questions of the officiously meddling police Falter replied absently and tersely; but, when he finally grew tired of this pestering, he pointed out that, having accidentally solved “the riddle of the universe,” he had yielded to artful exhortation and shared that solution with his inquisitive interlocutor, whereupon the latter had died of astonishment.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
