“All answers are only found in the super-conscious. It takes us to a point where we don't ask questions anymore because that part of us which would ask goes away.” WisdomAsksFoundAnswersBuddhismConscious Author:Frederick Lenz
“Had I to give advice to writers (and I do not think they need it, because everyone has to find out things for himself), I would tell them simply this; I would ask them to tamper as little as they can with their own work. I do not think tinkering does any good. The moment comes when one has found out what one can do - when one has found one's natural voice, one's rhythm. Then I do not think that slight emendations should prove useful.” ThinkingNeedsGivingShouldWritingLittlesDoeMomentsAsksFoundVoiceCan DoNaturalAdviceProveRhythmTinkering Author:Jorge Luis Borges
“The truth of life lies in the impulsiveness of matter. The mind of man has been poisoned by concepts. Do not ask him to be content, ask him only to be calm, to believe that he has found his place.

“Visiting a new town is like having a conversation. Places ask questions of you just as searchingly as you question them. And, as in any conversation, it helps to listen with an open mind, so you can be led somewhere unexpected. The more you leave assumptions at home, I've found, the better you can hear whatever it is that a destination is trying to say to you.” TryingMindHelpingHomeMotivationalAsksFoundConversationTownsAssumptionUnexpectedDestinationOpen MindVisiting Author:Pico Iyer
“Away with the one who is always seeking, for he never finds anything; for he is seeking where nothing can be found.

“Someone in the society has to deal with the reality that there are finite resources and we're making trade-offs, and be explicit about that. When the car companies were found to have a memo that actually said, "This safety feature costs X and saved Y lives," the very existence of that memo was considered damning. Or when you made it reimbursable for a doctor to ask, "Do you want heroic care at the end-of-life," that was a death panel. No, it wasn't a death panel! It was asking somebody to make a decision.” WantMadeSaidEndsRealityCareAsksFoundDecisionDealsExistenceCompanyCarCostResourcesDoctorsAskingSafetyTradeSavedMade ItFeaturesHeroicFiniteEnd Of LifeExplicitTrade OffsMemos Author:Bill Gates
“We can each sit and wait to die, from the very day of our births. Those of us who do not do so, choose to ask - and to answer - the two questions that define every conscious creature: What do I want? and What will I do to get it? Which are, finally, only one question: What is my will? Caine teaches us that the answer is always found within our own experience; our lives provide the structure of the question, and a properly phrased question contains its own answer.” WantTwoDiesAsksFoundWaitingAnswersTeachOur LivesBirthCreaturesConsciousStructure Author:Matthew Woodring Stover

“I'm truly blessed to be doing what I've always wanted - CREATE. I have found a freedom that is hard to put into words.

“The House, being strong, should be generous ... but the constituents have a right to more than generosity.... The law gives me my seat. In the name of the law I ask for it. I regret that my personality overshadows the principles involved in this great struggle; but I would ask those who have touched my life, not knowing it, who have found for me vices which I do not remember in the memory of my life, I would ask them whether all can afford to cast the first stone ... then that, as best judges, they will vacate their own seats, having deprived my constituents of their right here to mine.” GivingShouldFirstsRememberLawAsksFoundHouseNamesStrongMemoriesPrinciplesStruggleKnowingAtheismMinesJudgingRegretPersonalityInvolvedStonesGive MeCastsVicesPositive AtheismGenerosityGenerousSeatsTouchedNot KnowingDeprivedI RegretConstituents Author:Charles Bradlaugh

I let somebody else make the chocolate soufflé, and I eat it. I found that, when I took cooking classes and tried to cook, I didn't want to eat it. The joy was gone.

“My life changes dramatically every time I get up out of bed. After my proposal life changed in that I wasn't asked to change. I always thought that marriage meant someone was going to ask you to stop being who you were. And I met someone who not only wants me to be who I am but likes it. So, my life changed in that my views towards marriage stopped being morbid. I found I was ready to be a good partner where I don't think I was a very good partner to people before.
