The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

Common Sense House Hatred
I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"
