Ambiguity Quote by Lucy Carter
““Ambiguity is like a riddle. I like riddles. Why try to avoid riddles? It is a jigsaw puzzle you have to put together and after spending a lot of time peeling back your eyeballs at the image that could be created and craning your neck over the 1000+ pieces you have to arrange, you can finally tell what the puzzle shows, so that’s great. Ambiguity is just another source of a sense of accomplishment, and it is an opportunity to enhance your problem solving skills. Why would I not want that? I complain about seeing the same riddles over and over and over again online, but ambiguity gives me more riddles to solve.””
