Question?

"If we live in a world where certain things are not subject to question, we live in a world where thinking has stopped."

-Lawrence Krauss

Question everything, and when you believe you have questioned all that is questionable, question even that.

To question is not to show a lack of faith, quite the opposite, it is a sure sign of faith.

Answers are like week old leftovers. Questions are a fresh feast.

To understand answers as temporary is the viewpoint of someone who can look past the confines of logistics to the expanse of possibilities.

Not all answers are good, whereas all questions are never bad.

See the question mark curve and sway, always endeavouring night and day.
See the explanation mark stiff and straight, never doubting or hesitate.

Do not be afraid to question, nor to doubt.

The one obstacle to the worship of the God of Grace, the chief barrier to gratitude, lies in a stubborn refusal to go beyond the limits of our lives. If we were poor, or rejected, or unsuccessful yesterday, we define ourselves as unable to be anything but poor and outcast and a failure today. We refuse to claim the power within us and we blame the rest of the world for the prisons in which we place ourselves. We smother ourselves in resentment or remorse. But to grow spiritually we must dedicate ourselves to becoming more today than we were yesterday. " - JOAN CHITTISTER

C.S.Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
