Truth Seeking Quote by Keith R. Baker
““Rob turned his attention to the poster, at which he pointed, and said to his audience, “And let this be the lesson t’ you: Whether it is true or not, what gets printed on a poster or in a newspaper is what people will believe. They shouldn’t; they should question everything. But few people will question what they’re told. Be among those few, lads. Question everything until you are convinced you have the truth of the matter.””

![“[T]he question "What is everything?" has no meaning, even though it seems to be profound. [...] The point is, perhaps, that I am not looking for a verbal answer, just as when I ask for a kiss, I do not want a piece of paper with "A kiss" written on it. It is rather that metaphysical wonder looks…” quote by Alan W. Watts](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/705/alan-w-watts-9497_curiosity_t-he-question-what-is-everything-has-no_3984.jpg)
