1 " There are, as we know, powerful and illustrious atheists. At bottom, led back to the truth by their very force, they are not absolutely sure that they are atheists; it is with them only a question of definition, and in any case, if they do not believe in God, being great minds, they prove God. "
― Victor Hugo , Les Misérables
2 " The conundrum of sanity and insanity, is that it serves us to be some of each. It's really only a question of degrees. You cannot possibly be 100% adjusted and live in this INSANE world. A little bit of crazy is a coping skill. "
― Kelli Jae Baeli , Too Much World
3 " You of the North in general take love too soberly and seriously. You talk of duties where there should be only a question of pleasure. "
― Leopold von Sacher-Masoch , Venus in Furs
4 " England is seen at its worst when it has to deal with men like Wilde. In Germany Wilde and Byron are appreciated as authors: in England they still go pecking about their love-affairs. Anyone who calls a book ‘immoral’ or 'moral’ should be caned. A book by itself can be neither. It is only a question of the morality or immorality of the reader. But the English approach all questions of vice with such a curious mixture of curiosity and fear that it’s impossible to deal with them. "

5 " ...Teachings are given to different men under different circumstances and in different times... [but] ...the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. If a parent commands a little child not to play with matches, and then commands a teenager to light the campfire, is this a contradiction? It's only a question of preparedness - one is ready and one is not. "
― Chris Heimerdinger , Gadiantons and the Silver Sword (Tennis Shoes, #2)
6 " Don Ricardo wanted a successor worthy of himself. Jorge would always be cocooned in the privileges of his class, hiding from his mediocrity in creature comforts. Penelope, the beautiful Penelope, was a woman, and therefore a treasure, not a treasurer. Julian, who had the soul of a poet, and therefore the soul of a murderer, fulfilled all the requirements. It was only a question of time. "
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón , The Shadow of the Wind (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #1)
7 " You want something real bad? Go after it with ferocity like if your life depended on it and never ever surrender. Only a question of time. "
― Ziad K. Abdelnour , Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics
8 " The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot - and it's only a question of time before all that the mind controls will run amuck in a frenzy of stupid, impotent fear. "
9 " No doubt exists that all women are crazy it's only a question of degree. "
