Beginnings Quotes

“Being able not to know means not having to pretend understanding when it's not yet there; it means not having to force connections before they fit; it means enjoying a relief from feeling insecure if one doesn't have "the answer". Often, the art of crafting previously unasked questions and generating methods of inquiry opens up vaster expanses of landscape to see into than scrambling for answers does. And answers are more complete if nourished by curiosity and unpressured exploration.”
