David Mitchell Quotes

What are the questions you wish to ask?

I think it's okay to ask questions. I don't think everything is answerable though.

I love to doubt as well as know.

An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.

Curiosity might be pictured as being made up of chains of small questions extending outwards, sometimes over huge distances, from a central hub composed of a few blunt, large questions.

There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.

It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

Doubt grows with knowledge.

Every clarification breeds new questions.

If you don't know something, just go and ask.

I believe in not quite knowing. A writer needs to be doubtful, questioning. I write out of curiosity and bewilderment.

We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.

Question everything. Your love, your religion, your passion. If you don't have questions, you'll never find answers.

every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer . . .

Every answer will make more questions

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery.

Never stop doubting , never stop questioning, never ever assume you have all the answers. Having all the answers kills the question itself, renders it lifeless.....an d you too. Keep looking, keep seeking. Never, ever find it all. Because when you find it all, you deny that there is more. And there is never not more.

I encourage people to ask whatever question you're most interested in hearing the answer to.

The fate of all explanation is to close one door only to have another fly wide open.

That's a question mark everyone's asking

At the very smallest wheel of our reasoning it is possible for a handful of questions to break the bank of our answers.

Questions outlive the answers.

Why?' is always the most difficult question to answer. You know where you are when someone asks you 'What's the time?' or 'When was the battle of 1066?' or 'How do these seatbelts work that go tight when you slam the brakes on, Daddy?' The answers are easy and are, respectively, 'Seven-thirty in the evening,' 'Ten-fifteen in the morning,' and 'Don't ask stupid questions.

With knowledge grows doubt.

Questioners sooner or later end up in a library... And answers are dangerous; they kill your wonder.
