Curiosity

Curiosity ... endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in their own mode of life which springs from their cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will.

Paley, Grace

2.
The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.
Burke, Edmund

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery everyday. Never lose a holycuriosity.
Einstein, Albert

10.
Where the apple reddens never pry -- lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Browning, Robert

11.
Desire to know why, and how -- curiosity, which is a lust of the mind, that a perseverance of delight in the continued and indefatigable generation of knowledge -- exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

12.
Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.

William Wirt

That low vice, curiosity!
Byron, Lord

16.
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

17.
Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom.
Forster, Edward M.

18.
All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
Bunuel, Luis

19.
Every age has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted.
Mccarthy, Mary

Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shrewd unto thee than men understand.
Bible

25.
We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.
Morris, Desmond

26.
Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.
Pope, Alexander

28.
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

29.
A man should go on living -- if only to satisfy his curiosity.
Proverb, Yiddish
