Three Thoughts about Questions

Creativity often shows up at the intersection of various thoughts. Here are three to ponder … what do they spark for you?

“It’s not a silly question if you can’t answer it.”

― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Which would you rather be if you had the choice–divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?”

― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
