“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
“It's very easy I think when you're a creative person to wait for the right thing and to start getting self-conscious about how you are going to express what you do and what's special about you. I would say in general, a lot of times the answer is that you just dive into something and you find your own voice through that process.” ThinkingPersonsSelfEasyWaitingProcessVoiceAnswersCreativeSpecialConsciousRight ThingSelf ConsciousCreative Person Author:Mitchell Hurwitz
“It depends on how you define the word "racialist." If you mean being conscious of the differences between men and nations, and from that, races, then we are all racialists. However, if you mean a man who despises a human being because he belongs to another race, or a man who believes that one race is inherently superior to another, then the answer is emphatically "No."” IfsMenBelieveHumansMeanNationsDifferencesHuman BeingsAnswersRaceDependsConsciousSuperiorsDespise Author:Enoch Powell
“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
“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul's journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.” IfsBelieveSoulPurposeAsksWishAnswersExistencePracticeOur LivesJourneyMaterialsConsciousEmptyAriseAbundanceSpiteSuperficialUnansweredAuthentic LifeQueries Author:Ilchi Lee
“If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world.

“Which natural gift would you most like to possess? The ability to master other languages (which would have hugely enhanced the scope of these answers). How would you like to die?

“In the realm of strong A.I. or in the realm of human consciousness, I think that it's been something that troubles humans or forces us to look at it over and over for millennia, or as long as we've really been conscious, because there is no answer. There is no explanation for us, even for a one percent grip to hold on to. So we just don't know why we're here, we don't know how consciousness is created.” ThinkingKnowsHumansLooksLongStrongForceAnswersConsciousnessKnow HowTroublePercentConsciousExplanationRealmsHuman Consciousness Author:Neill Blomkamp
“If you could map out a human brain, an open question is, if you simulated it, would it be you? Now, as we discussed earlier, we don't have a great definition or even a good technological handle to know whether something is conscious or not just by looking at it, so there's that aspect that we're not ready to answer, I would argue. But it raises very interesting questions about the nature of identity.” IfsKnowsHumansAnswersInterestingBrainIdentityReadyConsciousAspectRaisesDefinitionsArguingHandleMapsBe YouTechnologicalVery InterestingNot ReadyHuman Brain Author:Edward Boyden
“The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one.” ThinkingMomentsAnswersLevelsConsciousEssenceWho You AreDefinitionsDefinedLabelsPresent Moment Author:Eckhart Tolle

“Over and above the various prejudices I acknowledge, the affinities I feel, the attractions I succumb to, the events which occur to me and to me alone- over and above a sum of movements I am conscious of making, of emotions I alone experience- I strive, in relation to other men, to discover the nature, if not the necessity, of my difference from them. Is it not precisely to the degree I become conscious of this difference that I shall recognize what I alone have been put on this earth to do, what unique message I alone may bear, so that I alone can answer for its fate?” IfsMenFeelsMayHas BeensEarthDifferencesAnswersEmotionFateEventsMovementBearsDegreesMessagesUniqueConsciousPrejudiceRelationStriveVariousAttractionAcknowledgeMe AloneAffinity Author:Andre Breton
“It seems to be very hard for people to live with riddles or to let them live, although one would think that life is so full of riddles as it is that a few more things we cannot answer would make no difference. But perhaps it is just this that is so unendurable, that there are irrational things in our own psyche which upset the conscious mind in its illusory certainties by confronting it with the riddle of its existence.” PeopleThinkingMindHardSeemsLife IsDifferencesAnswersExistenceConsciousCertaintyUpsetIrrationalRiddleConfrontingMemories Dreams ReflectionsIllusoryConscious MindUnendurable Book:The Collected Works of C.

“A long-dead angel who thought to own me,” was his enigmatic answer, the silver in his eyes almost liquid. “I tore out his throat. After that, I ate his liver and his heart. The remaining internal organs weren’t as tasty so I gave them to his other creatures.” Elena’s hand tightened on the handle of the knife, conscious Naasir carried gleaming blades of his own in the sheaths strapped to his arms. “I wouldn’t think a vampire who killed an angel would be permitted to live.” A slow, feral smile. “I didn’t say I killed him.” ThinkingHeartLongHandsWould BeEyeAnswersArmsCreaturesConsciousAngelHandleVampireHis EyesInternalsSilverThroatKnivesOrgansBladesLiquidLiverTastyEnigmatic Book:Archangel's Legion Source: Archangel's Legion
