Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.

In this generation, the issue pressing that question on our consciences is the issue of abortion.

Abortion is a question of choice.

Say this for big league baseball - it is beyond any question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America.

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

My wife - to-be and I went to see my father. Only he could answer the two questions before us: Shall we get married now? Shall I begin the practice of law, or continue being the successful wine salesman I had become, working my way through law school?

When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't."

At issue was the question whether this man's faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving, and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another.

I'm concerned about the cost, just like everybody else. There's no question that we have an obligation to help the people of Louisiana and Mississippi to rebuild.

Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.

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.

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!

In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?"

With Clinton, there's no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he's also a good friend.

There's no question that many more women artists are showing worldwide now than they were when I was a young woman, and that's really great.

The success of this album is very much in question. Who knows where it's going to go? My being a Spice Girl is no guarantee of anything, although I hope it'll benefit the sales.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
