  • Youth is an intoxication without wine, someone says. Life is an intoxication. The only sober man is the melancholiac, who, disenchanted, looks at life, sees it as it really is, and cuts his throat. If this be so, I want to be very drunk. The great thing is to live, to clutch at our existence and race away with it in some great and enthralling pursuit. Above all, I must beware of all ultimate questions- they are too maddeningly unanswerable- let me eschew philosophy and burn Omar.

    W. N. P. Barbellion (1919). “The Journal of a Disappointed Man”
  • We current Justices read the Constitution in the only way that we can: as Twentieth Century Americans. We look to the history of the time of framing and to the intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time. For the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs.

    "The Constitution of the United States: Contemporary Ratification" (speech),Washington, D.C., 12 Oct. 1985
  • The ultimate question of who we are is set before us at all times and answered with every action.

The one that triggers rage and sorrow; the one that asks is the price of blood too dear? Or, if it is to stay true to its convictions, does America have no coice but to put its lives on the line?

    Father   War   Fighting  
  • What man needs is not just the persistent posing of ultimate questions, but the sense of what is feasible, what is possible, what is correct, here and now. The philosopher, of all people, must, I think, be aware of the tension between what he claims to achieve and the reality in which he finds himself.

    Reality   Men   Thinking  
    Hans-Georg Gadamer (2013). “Truth and Method”, p.35, A&C Black

  • ... believing in a God whom we cannot but regard as evil, and then, in mere terrified flattery calling Him 'good' and worshipping him is a still greater danger... The ultimate question is whether the doctrine of the goodness of God or that of the inerrancy of scripture is to prevail when they conflict. I think the doctrine of the goodness of God is the more certain of the two. Indeed, only that doctrine renders this worship of Him obligatory or even permissable.

    Believe   Thinking   Two

This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.

  • Ultimate questions will always lie beyond the scope of empirical science as it is.

    Paul Davies (1993). “Mind of God: The Scientific Basis for a Rational World”, p.15, Simon and Schuster
