Question and Quest At a recent interview the question was posed to one of us as to what the most important fact that he had learned about life was. The immediate reply was that "Life is a series of sentences. We need to find the time to punctuate it properly to be able to read its message. Otherwise, life becomes a sentence". He added that this comment would probably not be regarded as a fact, but that there are innumerable cases that would constitute sufficient evidence for the validity of the claim.
