I second that e-motion. "Keep cool, but care" has already been
mentione as well. I'd still go with "questions/answers." but a
personal favorite ...
"This is America, you live in it, you let it happen. Let it unfurl."
--The Crying of Lot 49
But I'd STILL go with "If they can get you asking the wrong questions,
they don't have to worry about the answers."
Other favorites, other sources:
"Let us endeavor to see things as they are, and then enquire whether
we ought to complain." --Samuel Johnson
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail
better." --Samuel Beckett
"Trying is the first step towards failure." --Homer J. Simpson
"And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him
to a tree, and the children did make sport of him." --The Lawgiver,
Scroll XIII
"You maniacs! You blew it all up! Goddam you all. Goddam you all to
hell." --George Taylor
"Sexually provocative humor wasn't on teevee, it was on cocktail
napkins, and we liked it that way! " --Joel Hodgson
"Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad." --Spock
"Yeah, but you are aware that there is an invention called television,
and on this invention, they show shows, right?" --Jules Winnfield
"I shot a werewolf once, but when I got to it, it had already changed
back into my neighbor's dog." --Dwight Schrute
"I don't have kids, I probably never will have kids, but if i did have
kids, I'd have black kids, and I'd take them to see Good Burger."
--Chip, after Rex Reed
