The Only Dumb Question Is the Question You Don't Ask

Creativity begins with having questions - asking them and exploring them

Creativity always begins with a question.  Why?  What if?  How? etc The quality of your creativity is determined by the quality of your questions - by the way you frame your approach to circumstances, problems, needs, and opportunities.  A creative approach makes life a questioning process

 Milan Kundera, the Czech novelis says:

 I ask questions.  The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything.  The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything.

What is a question?"

A list I have (don't know from where - sorry) says:
A question is an opening to creation.
A question is an unsettled and unsettling issue.
A question is an invitation to creativity.
A question is a beginning of adventure.
A question is seductive foreplay.
A question is a disguised answer.
A question pokes and prods that which has not yet been poked and prodded.
A question is a point of departure.
A question has no end and no beginning.
A question wants a playmate.

Can you add to the this list?
