4 QUOTES WITH «QUESTIONER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word questioner.
1
Kabir Bedi
I have the greatest love for the rituals of organised religion - the sense of community and belonging it can confer to people. But me, I'm more a questioner than a follower; not by whim or fashion, but as a decision painfully arrived at after much, much thought.
2
Philip Johnson
I'm a chameleon, so changeable. I see myself as a gadfly and a questioner.
3
Anne Rice
To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.
4
Hudson Taylor
Christians often get into perplexity about worldly allurements by asking, 'Where is the sin of this, or the danger of that?' There may be danger that the questioner cannot see: Satan's baits often skillfully conceal a sharp hook; but supposing that the thing be harmless, it does not follow that it would be pleasing to God or spiritually helpful.
