Quotation of the Day for October 27, 2010



"[T]here are no answers, there are only questions.

"Fallible creatures that we are and being ourselves in question, we inevitably demand answers to ease the lack within us. All things must be capable of explanation, every effort must have a cause, each problem a solution. It is thus that we arrive at conclusion, for conclusion brings about the ending that we mistake for an answer. "That's finished," we say, mendaciously. "We can go on to something else."

"But nothing in life--nor, perhaps in death--is ever really finished. A book, for instance, is no book at all, unless, when we come to the last page, it goes on and on within us."

- Pamela Travers, author of Mary Poppins, in Frank Barron's Creators on Creating.
