“Why do we never get an answer, when we’re knocking at the door? There’s a thousand-million questions, about hate and death and war…” - The Moody Blues. “Question”
Under sufficient pressure, of course, I’d crack like an Antarctic ice shelf and confess that I’m fond of answers, too. In fact, really, I’m not even sure you can have questions without answers any more than you can have answers without questions. They’re just different wavelengths on the same spectrum.
And answers can be plenty interesting, just like questions can. But I still prefer questions, and for primarily this reason: More often than not, questions get used to open conversations. And more often than not, answers get used to shut them down. And I like beginnings better than I like endings*.
That’s my story, but it sounds more like an answer than a question, so don’t be surprised if I don’t stick to it.

A fine case for putting Descartes before the horseplay.

I thought 42 was the answer to everything.

The trick is to ask the right questions.

@Bllan: 42 is the answer, but only for the universe and everything. Unfortunately, Buttercup is an anomaly that can’t be rationally explained.

That’s like the people who say “Perfect would be boring.” Boring is an imperfection, so no it wouldn’t.

The best answers lead to new questions.
