But answer came there ordsprog

But answer came there none - / And this was scarcely odd because / They'd eaten every one.

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

Lewis Carroll

My friend was eaten alive by this bacteria . His legs, his arms were eaten, his intestines were eaten. His colon was eaten before he died. This is not a frivolous situation.

Stephanie Sofos

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; / What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? / Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? / If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; / Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; / (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;) / If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; / If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; / If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: / Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

Our civilization is still in a middle stage, scarcely beast, in that it is no longer wholly guided by instinct; scarcely human, in that it is not yet wholly guided by reason

Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945)

Theodore Dreiser

I'm obsessed with crocodiles and getting eaten by one. When I hear that someone's been eaten by a crocodile or shark, I just get all gooey. I start salivating.

Tori Amos (1963-)

Tori Amos

The onion being eaten, yea though it be boyled, causeth head-ache, hurteth the eyes, and maketh a man dimme sighted, dulleth the senses, ingendreth windinesse, and provoketh overmuch sleepe, especially being eaten raw

This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: / To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: / Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

"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 -- 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."

Ken Kesey

He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. We are sinful not merely because we have eaten of the tree of knowledge, but also because we have not eaten of the tree of life.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Franz Kafka

Philosophy offers the rather cold consolation that perhaps we and our planet do not actually exist; religion presents the contradictory and scarcely more comforting thought that we exist but that we cannot hope to get anywhere until we cease to exist. Alcohol, in attempting to resolve the contradiction, produces vivid patterns of Truth which vanish like snow in the morning sun and cannot be recalled; the revelations of poetry are as wonderful as a comet in the skies , and as mysterious. Love, which was once believed to contain the Answer, we now know to be nothing more than an inherited behavior pattern.

James Thurber (1894-1961)

James Thurber

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; / And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

Honestly, to hear and know what people are saying out there, they don't expect me to do anything, ... It motivates me all the time. 'I'm old. I'm over the hill. I'm not the answer. I won't be the answer in the future. I won't be the answer come Sunday.' We'll see.

There was no answer except the usual answer life gives to the most complicated and insoluble questions. This answer is: carry on with your everyday affairs, that is to say, put it out of your mind.
