"I do not have clear answers to current questions. I have questions, and, as a matter of fact, I think a man is better known by his questions than his answers. To make known one's questions is, no doubt, to come out in the open oneself. I am not in the market for the ready-made and wholesale answers so easily volunteered by the public and I question nothing so much as the viability of public and popular answers, including some of those which claim to be most progressive."

i've got so many questions but admittedly, many are blunt and uninspiring, and i lack the courage and discipline to ask pertinent ones. so how do i sharpen 'em thoughts?
