Leon Trotsky
“How do I work? I grope”
Albert Einstein
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy”
Thornton Wilder
“You have no questions to ask of any body, no new way that you need inquire after; no oracle that you need to consult; for whilst you shut yourself up in patience, meekness, humility, and resignation to God, you are in the very arms of Christ, your heart is His dwelling-place, and He lives and works in you as certainly as He lived in and governed that body and soul which He took from the Virgin Mary.”
William Law
“Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale, / No man hath walked along our roads with step / So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue/ So varied in discourse.”
Walter Savage Landor
“A great literature is chiefly the product of inquiring minds in revolt against the immovable certainties of the nation”
Henry Louis Mencken
“`That's rather a sudden pull up, ain't it, Sammy?' inquired Mr Weller. `Not a bit on it,' said Sam; `she'll vish there wos more, and that's the great art o' letter writin'.'”
Charles Dickens
