I never think that a film should answer questions for you. I think it should make you ask a lot of questions.
What is more precious: a thousand answers derived from one question? Or, one answer…from a thousand questions?
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'
The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn't a question of want, it's a question of need.
To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.
Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behaviour and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.
Never answer the question that is asked of you. Answer the question that you wish had been asked of you.
And then what makes the work interesting is if you choose the right questions.
Man is a question; woman is an answer. The mistake women make today is to offer themselves as answers before being questioned.

With reporting, if you work hard, you can usually pull something out. But writing humor doesn't respond to working hard, necessarily. I mean, you could just sit there and look at the page all day and maybe something will come.
Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it'll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventual...
I come from a pretty working-class neighborhood in Chicago. Hard work was just expected of you. It wasn't some noble thing you did; it was a prerequisite. It's what a man did. You get up, you put on your boots, and you work hard. We've lost a lot of ...
People that I know, the vast majority, who are successful work really, really hard. Sure, there's some people that either get lucky or inherited it or don't have to work hard for some reason, but the vast majority who are successful work really, real...
The great question is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with failure.
The belly is like a judge that is silent yet still asks questions.
A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things.
