Saturday Philosophizing

Here's something from Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), noted German political theorist:

"It is more than likely that if men were ever to lose
the appetite for meaning which we call thinking,
and cease to ask unanswerable questions,
they would lose not only the ability to produce
those thought-things which we call works of art
but also the capacity for asking all the unanswerable
questions upon which every civilization is founded."
