Q. What is the first question?
A. “What is the first question?”
Q. That’s what I said.

Q. Why do I have to ask the questions?
A. Do you think that is the question to ask?
Q. That isn’t an answer.
A. That’s not a question.
Q. Do you think questions are important?
A. Yes, because my answers never come if a question is not posed.
Q. Do you believe in the beauty of questions?
A. Of course. Questions are beautiful in that they are shapely but empty forms waiting to be filled by colors of liquids or lights.
Q. Do you believe that?
A. I believe everything.
Q. Why would you do that?
A. Because it’s easier.
Q. But don’t you see that some ideas contradict other ideas.
A. Of course! The possibilities are infinite!
Q. So you are happy?
A. I imagine so.
Q. You do not know if you are happy?
A. Well, I suppose so, but there is so much I don’t know about myself that I wouldn’t want to assume I was happy. There might be something I’ve forgotten that proves I am indeed happy. But the opposite is also true.
Q. How can you survive and persist with these opposing forces within you?
A. In the same way that the earth.

Q. You have a strange sense of what a crevice is.
A. You have a strange sense of what a question is.
Q. What is the different between a crevice and a question?

Q. Do all crevices have depth?
A. All crevices have depth, but not all are deep.
Q. Do you know who you are?
A. I used to, but I grew bored with the knowledge of myself.
