"There are years that ask questions and years that answer"
- Zora Neale Hurston
About this Quote
This quote by Zora Neale Hurston talks to the cyclical nature of life. It suggests that there are specific time periods where we are faced with lots of concerns and unpredictabilities, while other times are filled with clearness and answers. These "years" can describe literal years, but can likewise represent different stages or stages in our lives. The quote also indicates that both questioning and addressing are necessary and inevitable parts of our journey. It reminds us that life is a continuous process of learning and growth, which we must embrace both the difficult and fulfilling moments that come our way.

"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
