"Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable"
- C. S. Lewis
About this Quote
In this quote, C. S. Lewis is recommending that it is quite easy for a mortal to ask concerns which God finds unanswerable. He is indicating that any question which does not make good sense or is ridiculous is unanswerable, even by God. This is because nonsensical concerns do not have a rational answer, and therefore can not be answered. Lewis is suggesting that it is not only mortals who are not able to answer ridiculous questions, however even God is not able to answer them. This quote is a reminder that not all concerns have answers, and that it is very important to ask significant concerns in order to get meaningful answers.
"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?"
