Borrowed from my Facebook

I had posted this quote on Facebook not long ago, but thought it was good enough to get a more permanent home here. It's about what a question is, that is to say what is the nature of a question?

"Questions are places in your mind where answers fit. If you haven’t asked the question, the answer has nowhere to go. It hits your mind and bounces right off. You have to ask the question – you have to want to know – in order to open up the space for the answer to fit.”
