About this Quote

This quote by Tennessee Williams speaks to the unpredictability of life and the importance of keeping hope in the face of it. Life has lots of unknowns and we can never ever be sure of what the future holds. Nevertheless, Williams motivates us to believe in the dignity and importance of life's unanswered questions. He is recommending that although life is unpredictable, it is still worth living and pursuing. We should not be dissuaded by the lack of responses, but rather accept the secret and appeal of life. Life is a journey and the concerns we deal with along the way belong to the experience. We need to not hesitate to ask questions and look for answers, however also accept that some things may remain a mystery. Life is an unanswered question, but we ought to still believe in its worth and importance.
