~By Ricky Williams ~
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
~By Franz Kafka ~
That still has to be there. And so, it's kind of an interesting question you brought up. Because, on the one hand, yeah, it'd be lovely. I certainly don't see that happening. In fact, I see the opposite happening.
~By Danny Elfman ~

~By Thomas Harrison ~

~By Sonia Braga ~
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
~By Charlie Chaplin ~
What you are is a question only you can answer.
~By Lois McMaster Bujold ~

~By Thabo Mbeki ~
This is largely the methodology I've used throughout my career - that is, starting with a question as to what might be the properties of a set of compounds that could be invented which were unusual and unpredictable. Many times I've felt a bit like Columbus setting sail.
~By Donald Cram ~
When we acquired California and New- Mexico this party, scorning all compromises and all concessions, demanded that slavery should be forever excluded from them, and all other acquisitions of the Republic, either by purchase or conquest, forever.

~By Brian May ~
Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.
~By Lyndon B. Johnson ~

~By A. B. Yehoshua ~

~By Donald Norman ~

~By Bill Gates ~
We only live once, but once is enough if we do it right. Live your life with class, dignity, and style so that an exclamation, rather than a question mark signifies it!

~By Stephen Harper ~
In Endless Quest books, you start the plot, and the character has to make choices. Then you have to write one choice over here, one choice over there. The author might get one or two choices out.
~By Margaret Weis ~

~By Lorenz Hart ~
Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.

I feel like I'm not smart enough to answer the questions I'm asked.
~By Bret Easton Ellis ~
Well, there's a question as to what sort of information is important in the world, what sort of information can achieve reform. And there's a lot of information.

~By Julian Assange ~
It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.
~By Johnny Vegas ~

~By Jennifer Capriati ~
In November 2000, the Republicans stole from America our most precious right of all: the right to free and fair elections... Now President Bush occupies the White House, but with questionable legitimacy.
~By Cynthia McKinney ~

~By Clare Short ~
So the question is, First, Whether the civil magistrate hath power to force men in things religious to do contrary to their conscience, and if they will not to punish them in their goods, liberties, or lives? this we hold in the negative.
~By Robert Barclay ~
It's horrible to think that a small cadre of people would manipulate that information. I mean, for God's sake, we've admitted that we were experimenting on our veterans with mustard gas. So there is no security question. It can't possibly be the reason.
~By Dwight Schultz ~
I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.
~By Lee Tergesen ~
We have to be that wedge that drives the question and asks the hard questions.
~By Danny Glover ~

~By Laurel Clark ~
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
~By Stephen Hawking ~
