With this phrase, Picasso wants to demonstrate that he thinks in a way that is uncommon and original. He tells us that most people want to know how to understand, and perhaps replicate what already exists. Their focus is on comprehension, not on creation. On the other hand, Picasso focuses on things that do not exist and wonders whether they could. This is creation.
An example of this would be Picasso's own paintings. Most painters want to represent the human form and the natural world in a way that remains close to reality. They use organic lines and realistic depictions. Picasso, on the other hand, wondered if these figures could be created with geometrical shapes, which gave him his unique, cubist style.
Another example would be Leon Theremin, who invented the theremin. This was one of the first electronic musical instruments and it does not need to be touched in order to be played. While most people ask how to play an instrument, Theremin most likely asked why an instrument could not be played without being touched. This led to his most important creation.
In "Remarks Concerning The Savages of North America," Benjamin Franklin wants to defend the reputation of Native Americans by arguing that they were not "savages," as Europeans thought. Instead, they were very advanced people with social rules that were just as complex and virtuous as those of colonists, and sometimes even more so.
He gives many arguments to support this claim, but one example is the way they conducted councils. Everyone in the community participated in these councils, and Franklin argues that speakers did not interrupt each other, listened attentively and conducted everything with order and decency. He compares this to the way the British House of Commons carried out its sessions: the speaker constantly calling to order amid interruptions and confusion.
Another example he gives is that of the interactions between the two groups. Franklin says that when Europeans met Native Americans, they crowded around them, staring at them and making them uncomfortable. The Native Americans were just as curious about Europeans. However, they looked at them from afar, discreetly, and without getting in their way.
Both examples are very successful in proving Franklin's point. He takes examples of practices that exist in both ethnic groups. Moreover, he discusses factors that are considered important as markers of civility. Finally, his observations are factually-based.
