Questions Correctly

Famous quotes containing the words questions and/or correctly:

    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)

    You are right to demand that an artist engage his work consciously, but you confuse two different things: solving the problem and correctly posing the question.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
