More Personal Question Quotes

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: 'When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?' — Angeles Arrien

Choosing a creator is always difficult. It’s not a question of taking a talented creator and saying, ‘We’ll employ the person in such and such a business and it will work’. It isn’t true.

And from the time I was a kid, I've had this internal monologue roaring through my head, which doesn't stop - unless I'm asleep. I'm sure every person has this; it's just that my monologue is particularly loud. And particularly troublesome. I'm constantly asking myself questions. And the problem with that is that your brain is like a computer: If you ask a question, it's programmed to respond, whether there's an answer or not. I'm constantly weighing everything in my mind and trying to predict how my actions will influence events. Or maybe manipulate events are the more appropriate words. It's like playing a game of chess with your own life. And I hate fucking chess! — Jordan Belfort

Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question.

I think of veganism humbly and holistically. It's about taking personal responsibility in a world so full of needless suffering.

It's about critical thinking and compassion and how we would like to see the world evolve. — Michael Greger

Study hard. Understand not only the questions, but the questioner. Know how best to articulate the answers, but do it with humility, because ultimately the answer is in a person, the person of Christ, not in an argument.

A person soon learns how little he knows when a child begins to ask questions. — Richard L. Evans

You know that I don't believe that anyone has ever taught anything to anyone. I question that efficacy of teaching. The only thing that I know is that anyone who wants to learn will learn.
