And looking into the face of ... one dead man we see two dead, the man and the life of the woman who gave him birth the life she wrought into his life! And looking into his dead face someone asks a woman, what does a woman know about war? What, what, friends in the face of a crime like that, what does man know about war?

In my experience, God rarely makes our fear disappear. Instead, He asks us to be strong and take courage. What is courage? As Ordinary discovered, courage is not the absence of fear rather, it's choosing to act in spite of the fear. You could say that without fear, you can't have genuine courage.

Openness [story] ultimately asks this same question - can a relationship survive complete honesty? As a romantic, I want to say Yes, of course! But, over time, I've come to agree with Dan Savage.

I suddenly realize that I'm naked, which shouldn't bother me since it's the phone, but for some reason it does. How's it hanging? Kyra asks and now I think I'm blushing. It's just an expression, but jeez!

Daemon had written: What do you do when she asks a question no man would give a child an answer to? Saetan had replied: Hope you're obliging enough to answer it for me. However, if you're backed into a corner, refer her to me. I've become accustomed to being shocked.

I'm interested in questions my son asks me, like, Why do animals fight? Why do you have to leave us to go on the road? Everything he asks gets me thinking.

In its solitariness the spirit asks, What, in the way of value, is the attainment of life? And it can find no such value till it has merged its individual claim with that of the objective universe. Religion is world-loyalty.
Alfred North Whitehead

A novel is, hopefully, the starting point of a conversation, one in which the author engages readers and asks that they see things from a different point of view than they might otherwise.

Eeyore religion says that the earth isn't worth saving, anyway, and that when it comes to an end, the Faithful will be transported instantly to heaven. No problem. We'd like to see them explain things to Saint Peter at the Gate, when he asks them what they did with the world that God entrusted to them. That might get a bit sticky.

To get at the meaning of a statement the logical positivist asks, What would the world be like if it were true? The operationist asks, What would we have to do to come to believe it? For the pragmatist the question is, What would we do if did believe it?

Young men keep telling me they don't 'have it all' either. And they may have a point. But if you define 'having it all' as the opportunity to have a successful career and a family, I'd say this. When a man tells his coworkers he's going to have a child, no one asks him how he'll manage or if he'll be coming back to work.

I've recently started practicing japa meditation. Meditating has always been a bit difficult for me, but japa asks you to focus on the space between things, and psychologically knowing I have anchor points frees me to do so.

Everybody asks me, 'So, what are you doing now?' Why must I be doing something? All my life I've been doing something. All my life I've been doing. For now, I'm being -- being quiet, being grateful.

We all name ourselves. We call ourselves artists. Nobody asks us. Nobody says you are or you aren't.

A Minister can always give a reason and, if he be clever, he can generally when doing so punish the man who asks for it. The punishing of an influential enemy is an indiscretion but an obscure questioner may often be crushed with good effect.
