As America is transformed from a 90 percent European American nation, as it was in the 1960s, to one where we will soon be a minority, should we not ask some pertinent questions. Is this racial diversity enriching, or will it be damaging to our social fabric? ~ David Duke
Pertinent Questions quotes by David Duke
The pertinent question: if Americans did not want these wars should they have been compelled to fight them? ~ Frank Chodorov
Pertinent Questions quotes by Frank Chodorov
It seems to me the only pertinent question is: cui bono? It is clear that the size of the privileged strata as a percentage of the whole has grown significantly under historical capitalism. And for these people, the world they know is better on the whole than any their earlier counterparts knew. ~ Immanuel Wallerstein
Pertinent Questions quotes by Immanuel Wallerstein
Measurement has too often been the leitmotif of many investigations rather than the experimental examination of hypotheses. Mounds of data are collected, which are statistically decorous and methodologically unimpeachable, but conclusions are often trivial and rarely useful in decision making. This results from an overly rigorous control of an insignificant variable and a widespread deficiency in the framing of pertinent questions. Investigators seem to have settled for what is measurable instead of measuring what they would really like to know. ~ Edmund Pellegrino
Pertinent Questions quotes by Edmund Pellegrino
I read as much as I could, but really just spoke to Chris Chibnall and asked all the pertinent questions. That made me feel like we weren't going to do an off-the-peg Camelot, which has been touched upon in many films and TV series before. I really just picked his brain and, in doing so, I got fired up by tackling Merlin in a fresher angle. ~ Joseph Fiennes
Pertinent Questions quotes by Joseph Fiennes
Asking what the question is, and why the question is asked, is always asking a pertinent question. ~ Raymond Geuss
Pertinent Questions quotes by Raymond Geuss
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant. ~ Oscar Wilde
Pertinent Questions quotes by Oscar Wilde
The question is not "Can this product be built?" In the modern economy, almost any product that can be imagined can be built. The more pertinent questions are "Should this product be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable business around this set of products and services?" To ~ Eric Ries
Pertinent Questions quotes by Eric Ries
The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them. ~ Peter Drucker
Pertinent Questions quotes by Peter Drucker
The function of my comedy is not to provide answers, but to postulate questions, impertinent questions and therefore finally, pertinent questions. Not to open doors, merely to unlock them. To not invade the boundaries of probability but stabd a cool guard this side of the boundaries. Somewhere between there's a thesis. To pump up the muscle of dialectic (or in my case Di-Eclectic!) against the brawn of surrealistic solution.

I play not Hamlet, but the second gravedigger, not Lear but the fool. ~ Marty Feldman
Pertinent Questions quotes by Marty Feldman
Asking insightful and pertinent questions is critical for governing changes at the board-level. ~ Pearl Zhu
Pertinent Questions quotes by Pearl Zhu
Every human being asks pertinent questions regarding how to live, what to believe in, and what we aspire to become. Throughout life, we question what desires and principles to value and prioritize – love, friendship, freedom, happiness, creativity, wealth, security. We make difficult decisions based upon what we trust constitutes ethical behavior. We balance out work and play by considering what a person's time is worth. We encounter both joyful and unpleasant physical experiences. As we age, we modify some of our youthful assumptions and question the existence of a mystical and divine world. We engage in formal and informal educational activities, which edifying foundation support modest or dramatic shifts in our instinctive and learned behavior patterns, and alter our intellectual and emotional perspective. Each person aspires to live honorably and age gracefully despite encountering physical adversity, financial hardships, sickness, or injury. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Pertinent Questions quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Self-awareness involves deep personal honesty. It comes from asking and answering hard questions. ~ Stephen Covey
Pertinent Questions quotes by Stephen Covey
For me, the favourite chapters have always been the last chapters in the books. I knew exactly how each book would end - and how the first chapter of the following book would begin. I knew I wanted to leave the readers with answers - and a bunch of new questions! ~ Michael Scott
Pertinent Questions quotes by Michael Scott
Aggressive questions are usually pedagogic - that is, the answer has already been written in the mind of the questioner, who then waits with a reply. It's pretend listening. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Pertinent Questions quotes by Siri Hustvedt
If the general picture of an expanding universe and a Big Bang is correct, we must then confront still more difficult questions. What were conditions like at the time of the Big Bang? What happened before that? Was there a tiny universe, devoid of all matter, and then the matter suddenly created from nothing? How does that happen? In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from. And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and decide that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question? Or, if we say that God has always existed, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed? ~ Carl Sagan
Pertinent Questions quotes by Carl Sagan
For the Romantic, it is only the briefest of steps from a glimpse of a stranger to the formulation of a majestic and substantial conclusion: that he or she may constitute a comprehensive answer to the unspoken questions of existence. The ~ Alain De Botton
Pertinent Questions quotes by Alain De Botton
I can guarantee that a hundred questions will not find my soul mate. I know this because he's dead. ~ Rachel Spanswick
Pertinent Questions quotes by Rachel Spanswick
Can machines think?"... The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game which we call the 'imitation game." It is played with three people, a man (A), a woman (B), and an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart front the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman. He knows them by labels X and Y, and at the end of the game he says either "X is A and Y is B" or "X is B and Y is A." The interrogator is allowed to put questions to A and B... We now ask the question, "What will happen when a machine takes the part of A in this game?" Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man and a woman? These questions replace our original, "Can machines think? ~ Alan Turing
Pertinent Questions quotes by Alan Turing
I got these questions always running through my head. So many things that I would like to understand. ~ Ronnie Radke
Pertinent Questions quotes by Ronnie Radke
Lips. You need to have three or four smart questions ready, and it's nice to have them on a note card you take out so you really seem prepared. ~ Kate White
Pertinent Questions quotes by Kate White
And truth and trust are the means by which civilization holds off barbarism. When those in power intend to abuse that power, they look to an outside enemy in order to trick their people into pressing the means to their own abuse into the hands of the abusers. If an enemy does not exist, it will be manufactured, and all manner of horrors attributed to it, so that anyone who demands truth and accountability is set upon as being unpatriotic. And so that, when someone said to be an enemy is found, there will be few questions asked about guilt or innocence, and many faces averted when he is taken away. ~ Mercedes Lackey
Pertinent Questions quotes by Mercedes Lackey
Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Pertinent Questions quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Obama will win. We will win. Then we will continue to lose. And the right questions will never be honestly asked or answered, and it's all just too much. ~ Kiese Laymon
Pertinent Questions quotes by Kiese Laymon
The girl's still unconscious. I'm surprised you didn't kill her.'
'These miniature versions have parents. And parents ask questions. ~ Terrance Dicks
Pertinent Questions quotes by Terrance Dicks
If literature provides solutions, if it provides answers, then it is lying. Rooted in reality as it is, it can only contribute towards posing the questions more sharply and clearly and more drastically than before. In my opinion, creative literature is an empirical science. ~ Jens Bjorneboe
Pertinent Questions quotes by Jens Bjorneboe
Eying him, Finn felt he knew the type if not the man. His only fear then was that the man might shoot first and ask questions later. Thankfully, he did not. ~ Alan Dean Foster
Pertinent Questions quotes by Alan Dean Foster
Religion gives you a sense of certainty. It makes you feel that you have the right answers to really big questions and that you've grasped the truth. ~ James Heckman
Pertinent Questions quotes by James Heckman
A man can sleep around, no questions asked, but if a woman makes nineteen or twenty mistakes she's a tramp. ~ Joan Rivers
Pertinent Questions quotes by Joan Rivers
Throughout history, human nature remains unchanged. The world's oldest questions are still being asked. Medea, Oedipus, we're not adding anything that the Greeks didn't already know. ~ Christopher Fowler
Pertinent Questions quotes by Christopher Fowler
The question is still asked of women: 'How do you propose to answer the need for child care?' That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: 'If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?'. ~ Jean Baker Miller
Pertinent Questions quotes by Jean Baker Miller
We're often silent. We don't yell and we don't complain. We're patient, as always. Because we don't have the words yet. We're afraid to talk about it. We don't know how. It's not an ordinary experience, and the questions it raises are not ordinary. The world has been split in two: there's us, the Chernobylites, and then there's you, the others. Have you noticed? No one here points out that they're Russian or Belarussian or Ukrainian. We all call ourselves Chernobylites. "We're from Chernobyl." "I'm a Chernobylite." As if this is a separate people. A new nation. ~ Svetlana Alexievich
Pertinent Questions quotes by Svetlana Alexievich
When you are trying to do something very innovative and revolutionary, you must also open yourself to a lot of questions. ~ Sharad Vivek Sagar
Pertinent Questions quotes by Sharad Vivek Sagar
When I have a particular case in hand, I have that motive and feel an interest in the case, feel an interest in ferreting out the questions to the bottom, love to dig up the question by the roots and hold it up and dry it before the fires of the mind. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Pertinent Questions quotes by Abraham Lincoln
When you get asked hundreds of questions, it's not possible to remember the answer to every one. ~ William J. Clinton
Pertinent Questions quotes by William J. Clinton
Philosophy is the strangest of subjects: it aims at rigour and yet is unable to establish any results; it attempts to deal with the most profound questions and yet constantly finds itself preoccupied with the trivialities of language; and it claims to be of great relevance to rational enquiry and the conduct of our life and yet is almost completely ignored. But perhaps what is strangest of all is the passion and intensity with which it is pursued by those who have fallen in its grip. ~ Kit Fine
Pertinent Questions quotes by Kit Fine
Why do such bad questions get predictably asked? Maybe part of the problem is that we have learned to ask the wrong questions of ourselves. Our culture is steeped in a kind of pop psychology whose obsessive question is: Are you happy? We ask it so reflexively that i seems natural to wish that a pharmacist with a time machine could deliver a lifetime supply of antidepressants to Bloomsbury, so that an incomparable feminist prose stylist could be reoriented to produce litters of Woolf babies. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Pertinent Questions quotes by Rebecca Solnit
The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard. ~ Alice Schroeder
Pertinent Questions quotes by Alice Schroeder
The big questions don't matter if you get all the little ones wrong. ~ Robert Kroese
Pertinent Questions quotes by Robert Kroese
You do not need to justify asking questions. But if you think you have found answers, you do not have the right to remain silent. ~ Jacob Neusner
Pertinent Questions quotes by Jacob Neusner
Worried about fitting in, being part of a group, feeling accepted? People gather in groups of similar interests, but these interests are usually based on external preferences and attires.
"We think that if other people like this sport or activity, they'll accept us without an interview or further questions, and we need that because we are afraid of standing naked in front of others, of showing whom we really are underneath the fake smiles and bland expressions of anger and pain: this nakedness is one of the heart and mind.
"It's within these groups that most people find their 'soul-mates' and 'fall in love' with the person they'll never get to know for real.
"Little did you know, you have to keep pretending to be someone else, while your partner is exhausted from having to put on a daily show just to please you. ~ Nityananda Das
Pertinent Questions quotes by Nityananda Das
Tell me, Jeeves," I said. "Suppose you were in a shop taking By The Order of the Czar out of the lending library and a clergyman's daughter came in and without so much as a preliminary 'Hullo, there' said to you, 'Has he brought it yet?' what interpretations would you place on those words?"
He pondered, this way and that dividing the swift mind, as I have heard him put it.
"'Has he brought it yet,' sir?"
"Just that."
"I should reach the conclusion that the lady was expecting a male acquaintance to have arrived or to be arriving shortly bearing some unidentified object. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
Pertinent Questions quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
It's illegitimate to talk about a post-scarcity Utopia without talking about questions of distribution. There have always been these Utopian predictions - 'electricity too cheap to meter' was the atomic promise of the 1950s. ~ Mitch Kapor
Pertinent Questions quotes by Mitch Kapor
The variety of opinions leads to questions. Questions lead to truth. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Pertinent Questions quotes by Thomas Jefferson
She said there was comfort to be found in the permanence of mathematical truths, in the lack of arbitrariness and the absence of ambiguity. In knowing that the answers may be elusive, but they could be found. They were there, waiting, chalk scribbles away. "Nothing like life, in other words," he said. "There, it's questions with either no answers or messy ones. ~ Khaled Hosseini
Pertinent Questions quotes by Khaled Hosseini
Computers are ridiculous. So is science in general. CHURCH_TURING Thesis, Theodore Rosak Version
This view is prevalent among certain people who see in anything smacking of numbers or exactitude a threat to human values. It is too bad that they do not appreciate the depth and complexity and beauty involved in exploring abstract structures sch as the human mind, where, indeed, one comes in intimate contact with the ultimate questions of what to be human is. ~ Douglas R. Hofstadter
Pertinent Questions quotes by Douglas R. Hofstadter
Most people only ask questions so they can listen to themselves talk. Or hear something they are able to cope with, but please, nothing that might get the better of them. "Do you love me?" is one of those questions. There should be a total ban on it. ~ Nina George
Pertinent Questions quotes by Nina George
The guy hefted the sword, weighing it. "What's a pretty thing like you want with a sword anyway?"
"She's going to use it to castrate guys who ask stupid questions," Blythe answered for me, her voice flat. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Pertinent Questions quotes by Rachel Hawkins
It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. ~ Jill Shalvis
Pertinent Questions quotes by Jill Shalvis
We give far more to charity per capita than Europeans do. Why? Are we born better? No. The bigger the government the worse the citizen. They are preoccupied in Europe with how much time off. Where will they vacation? When will they retire? These are selfish questions, these are not altruistic questions. So the goodness that America created is jeopardized by our not knowing what we stand for. That's our greatest threat. We are our problem. ~ Mark Steyn
Pertinent Questions quotes by Mark Steyn
I left the Midwest feeling like, "People are small-minded, they don't want to ask questions, they don't want to think out of the box." Some of that was true. ~ Lissie
Pertinent Questions quotes by Lissie
Religion will always have a future because it is an expression of the profound search for the meaning of life and a consequence of introspection and encounters with Him. As long as life continues to be a mystery and man wonders who created the natural order - while those questions, which I believe will be eternal, persist - the concept of religion will endure as a manifestation of the urgent calling to understand who we are. ~ Abraham Skorka
Pertinent Questions quotes by Abraham Skorka
