The Evil of Answer
“Answer is the betrayal of the open spirit of Question.”—Thomas McEvilley on James Lee Byars
Life has taught me to distrust anyone who offers all the answers or offers final answers (except mathematicians that is). Some of the wisest people I know are full of questions but not so quick with answers, nevermind St. Paul’s slander of the eternal student. An answer is a kind of death.
