Asking Quotes
Asking the right question can expose a weakness or open a door. These quotes range from a pointed challenge over definitions in a debate, to a writer's block treated as its own kind of trouble, to a historic decision made without formally asking a nation's opinion first, to the blunt persistence of agents asking for large sums on behalf of clients. Each line shows how asking carries its own quiet risk.
Every question carries a little risk, much like the uncertainty explored in About quotes.
