The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.

Art must unquestionably have a social value that is as a potential means of communication it must be addressed and in comprehensible terms to the understanding of mankind.

The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply.

I'm glad you asked that question because of any musical situation I've been in the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I'm doing because he cares.

That said the question remains: how to strike the balance between free speech and mutual respect in this mixed-up world both blessed and cursed with instant communication? We should not fight fire with fire threats with threats.

Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don't trust their government anymore and demand a change?

I know how bad Albany is. I know it better than most. I understand why people are angry. I'm angry. The question is going to be how do you change Albany what is the plan for change and then how do you actually get it done?

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat it won't jump out. Instead it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

Despite the fact that in America we incarcerate more juveniles for life terms than in any other country in the world the truth is that the vast majority of youth offenders will one day be released. The question is simple and stark. Do we want to help them change or do we want to help them become even more violent and dangerous?

The question I've come to think is not what inspires one to change but what inspires one to remain changed.

Maybe one day the world will change that we'll be in a luxurious position of being able to debate whether or not it's inherently wrong to eat animals but the question doesn't matter right now.

There is no question that climate change is happening the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.

Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next but at the same time you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

Everything will change. The only question is growing up or decaying.

The question remains: which brands will commit to creating a private sector pillar of social change and which will become casualties of their own outdated thinking?

So here's the question: Without a change in leadership why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?

Millions of young Americans have graduated from college during the Obama presidency ready to use their gifts and get moving in life. Half of them can't find the work they studied for or any work at all. So here's the question: Without a change in leadership why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

Of course there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I along with many other world leaders have embraced that goal and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.

In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat or cure or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

The very first time I was on a car in Atlanta I saw the conductor - all conductors are white - ask a Negro woman to get up and take a seat farther back in order to make a place for a white man. I have also seen white men requested to leave the Negro section of the car.

My work is more about trying to ask good questions and not trying to come up with big shows. Every fashion company is doing that every car company is doing that.

Racism has been for everyone like a horrible tragic car crash and we've all been heavily sedated from it. If we don't come into consciousness of this tragedy there's going to be a violent awakening we don't want. The question is can we wake up?
