• What is distinctive about the U.S. is that higher education is under attack not because it is failing but because it is public. It is now considered dangerous because it has the potential to function as a site where a culture of questioning can operate, the imagination can blossom, and difficult questions can be openly debated and critically engaged.

• Psychoanalysts have been occupied for a long time with the difficult question of what the psychological conditions are which determine the form of the neurotic disease to which the individual will succumb. It is as though he had a choice between different illnesses and led by unknown impulses selected one or other of them.

• La geometría es de gran ayuda en la arquitectura y, en particular, nos enseña el uso de la regla y los compases, con los que adquirimos especial destreza para hacer planos de edificios en sus terrenos y aplicar correctamente la escuadra, el nivel y la plomada. Por medio de la óptica, la luz de los edificios puede extraerse de puntos fijos del cielo. Las cuestiones difíciles relacionadas con la simetría se resuelven mediante teorías y métodos geométricos.

• Iran is an ancient land, home to a proud culture with a rich heritage of learning and progress. The future of Iran will be decided by the people of Iran. Right now, the Iranian people are struggling with difficult questions about how to build a modern 21st century society that is at once Muslim, prosperous, and free. There is a long history of friendship between the American people and the people of Iran. As Iran's people move towards a future defined by greater freedom, greater tolerance, they will have no better friend than the United States of America.

• One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.

• No one doubts that pure libertarianism is simple, but that's just why it remains on the ideological fringe - because it boils down the most difficult questions in human affairs to a simple equation, a What Would the Market Do bumper sticker.

• Why?' is always the most difficult question to answer. You know where you are when someone asks you 'What's the time?' or 'When was the battle of 1066?' or 'How do these seatbelts work that go tight when you slam the brakes on, Daddy?' The answers are easy and are, respectively, 'Seven-thirty in the evening,' 'Ten-fifteen in the morning,' and 'Don't ask stupid questions.

  Douglas Adams

• Es curioso cómo no puedes hacer preguntas difíciles en un lugar conocido, cómo tienes que retroceder unos metros y ver las cosas de una manera nueva antes de darte cuenta de que nada de lo que te está pasando es normal. El problema contigo y conmigo es que estamos acostumbrados a lo que nos pasa. Crecimos en nuestras vidas como un grano bajo la tierra, sin poder procesar nunca el enigma de nuestra composición... Nada es normal. Todo es bastante extraño, ¿verdad? Nuestros ojos en la cabeza, nuestras manos con cinco dedos, la capacidad de comprender la belleza, de sentir amor, de sentir dolor.

• ¿Qué es la Verdad? Es una pregunta difícil, pero yo mismo la he resuelto diciendo que es lo que te dice la "voz interior". Todo lo que puedo presentarte con verdadera humildad es que la Verdad no puede ser encontrada por nadie que no tenga un gran sentido de la humildad. Si quieres nadar en el seno del océano de la Verdad debes reducirte a cero.

• Regarding perfection, that's a very difficult question. I can say that I have superseded most in my sadhana [practice]. I am in it, and my mind and my intelligence gets better in my sadhana, and it reaches a certain place. When I stretch, I stretch in such a way that my awareness moves, and a gate of awareness finally opens... My body is a laboratory, you can say. I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around.

• We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.
