“Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”

“…where were answers to the truly deep questions? Religion promised those, though always in vague terms, while retreating from one line in the sand to the next. Don’t look past this boundary, they told Galileo, then Hutton, Darwin, Von Neumann, and Crick, always retreating with great dignity before the latest scientific advance, then drawing the next holy perimeter at the shadowy rim of knowledge.”

“Remember, an easy question can have an easy answer. But a hard question must have a hard answer. And for the hardest questions of all, there may be no answer – except faith.”

“To ask the ‘right’ question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.”

“With faith, there are no questions; without faith, there are no answers.”

“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds — justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can’t go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”

“We destroy in assumptionsBut we do not build in possibilities”

“All answers to why are information. All answers to how are knowledge.”

“DO WHAT YOU CANNOT DOSEE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEEEXPLAIN WHAT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN”

“A wise man never regrets the questions he asks. Only the ones he didn’t ask.”

“What do you want?”The question stunned him. He could say he wanted nothing, that he felt like nothing, that he counted the days until darkness. Hecould say: Happiness beyond all worlds! A life of peace and love, entire and whole! He could say he wanted everything and nothing all at once. He thought for a moment, as the birds sang in the trees, of how often he felt like this.”

“In Data Science if you want to help individuals, be empathetic and ask questions; that way, you can begin to understand their journey, too.”

“People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them.”

“At the end of the day, the questions we ask of ourselves determine the type of people that we will become.”
