“Thinkers aren't limited by what they know, because they can always increase what they know. Rather they're limited by what puzzles them, because there's no way to become curious about something that doesn't puzzle you.”
― Daniel Quinn, My Ishmael

“We perceive the world through the rear window of life, observe all the puzzles and little pieces of our existence and assemble them in a comprehensive pattern. This allows us to reassess and evaluate our world view. ( "Waiting for the pieces to fall into place" )”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Aristocracy is just a fancy word for thievery.”
― Roshani Chokshi, The Gilded Wolves

“The greatest thinkers
have attempted to find
who we are
where we come from
and why we are here
but the greatest enigmas to me
are how your hair is a lasso
that captures the stars
how your eyes are lakes
that drown my doubts
and how your skin is the sun
bursting all at once.
If I knew these answers
I’d know everything
for you alone
contain the entire universe.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“I feel like my life is made up of tiny puzzle parts that no longer fit together. Imagine working on a puzzle only to find that the final picture can never be complete because one of its pieces is missing. This is exactly what's happened to my life; it has become impossible to put it back together.”
― Zeina Kassem, Crossing

“Of all the complex puzzles the world offered, who would have guessed my emotions would be the greatest challenge of my life?”

“Soon he essentially stopped talking. "I am retreating into silence as a defensive mode," he mentioned. Eventually, he was down to uttering just five words, and only to guards: yes; no; please; thank you. "I am surprised," he wrote, "by the amount of respect this garners me. That silence intimidates puzzles me. Silence is to me normal, comfortable." Later he added, "I will admit to feeling a little contempt for those who can't keep quiet.”
― Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

“XVXVI, or 10-5-10-5-1, yielded H-E-H-E-A, which, unless she wanted to show her derisive laughter, made no sense.”
― Laurie R. King, The Beekeeper's Apprentice

“Well, listen, anger doesn't get anything done, so you have to find out: How do you make it work? That's why I was always maniacal about transforming every problem into a puzzle which I can solve. I can solve a puzzle—a problem just stresses me out.”
― Quincy Jones

“I've always seen hidden meanings in everything. Whenever I used to do those puzzles in children's magazines, the ones where you're supposed to find all the hidden pictures, I'd never find the right ones. I'd say I found the griffin, and the Wesselman steam engine, and the missing little finger of the mummy of Tut, and everyone would give me a strange look and say, All you're looking for is a yellow duck.

[…] work up to the voices of places you can only imagine. Ask where to find the griffin, and the Wesselman steam engine, and the little finger of Tut. I know they're out there, and usually in the strangest of places.

And if you find the yellow duck, let me know. That's the one I always miss.”
― Brian Andreas, Still Mostly True: Collected Stories & Drawings

“I'm not a puzzle piece to someone else's puzzle, I'm my own puzzle that is still growing. I'm unsure of what it'll look like when it's done, but it will be uniquely me.”
― Macy Niichel

“Darkness gives her permission, and protector gives the tears.
Beauty provides the conch, while mother provides the spear
Knowledge gives the moon, and head gives the bracelet
Widow provides the creator, while swan provides the snake
Music gives the sight, and the bloom gives mirror.
Or the blood of the queen will fall.
To make her lose a hand.”
― Sapan Saxena, The Tenth Riddle

“Wait. Is a real, live adult person actually asking me details about the games I play? This is unheard of.”
― Denis Markell, Click Here to Start

“Humans, when you talk me about them... I more likely see them as a unsolveable unlogicalable problem... than something else.”
― Deyth Banger

“To men, women are endlessly fascinating as they're a puzzle that can never be solved. To a logical creature like the human male, that's an irresistible challenge.”

“Dar cel care cauta asa cum trebuie gaseste intotdeauna. Nu exista vreo problema fara solutie. Daca nu o gasesti, e pentru ca nu ai cautat-o asa cum trebuie ori indeajuns. Orice broasca are o cheie. Nici un lacatus nu este destul de nebun ca sa fabrice broaste fara cheie.”
― Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu, Dracula in Carpati

“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.”
― Lucy Carter, The Reformation

“A man's problems are his puzzles to be solve.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“The customary units of measurement?

They have practical applications,
but learning them is mostly done through rote memorization�

There aren’t any proofs or critical evaluations regarding
REASONS why a foot equals twelve inches

There are only facts to memorize,
but not puzzles to solve,

With algebra—YES!

There isn’t just memorization�

There is the rearrangement
of jigsaw pieces�
jigsaw pieces that
you can solve,
not just memorize!”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“I'm not great at solving puzzles or riddles. Especially those riddles where you have to ride boats back and forth with foxes, geese, and sacks of grain. The fox would eat everything and I would starve.”
― Glen Nesbitt, BREAK OUT OF HEAVEN
