The weekly bon mot

"Try to cherish the questions themselves, like locked doors, like letters in an alien tongue."

E.E. Cummings said something similar, directing the sentiment at people who ask questions rather than at questions themselves... "Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question."
