While many conclusions are drawn... the process of asking questions is more important than the answers... an ongoing process of discovery.

John Paul Caponigro

I was really intrigued by them, became fascinated by them because they were asking questions that couldn't be answered almost, or were making statements that you couldn't quite understand. Like, 'I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M.' That took me through a whole stratosphere of possibilities, and doing a little research and discovered that the M is mercury.
