quotations about curiosity
Curiosity, is a movement of the soul towards Truth, which it seeks to assimilate by Knowledge. It is the first step in the direction of Certainty.
SABINE BARING-GOULD
The Origin and Development of Religious Belief: Christianity
Curiosity is a kernel of the forbidden fruit, which still sticketh in the throat of a natural man, sometimes to the danger of his choking.
THOMAS FULLER
The History of the Worthies of England
Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.
ARNOLD EDINBOROUGH
attributed, Words from the Wise
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
ELLEN PARR
attributed, Reader's Digest, December 1980
Too much curiosity lost Paradise.
APHRA BEHN
The Lucky Chance
Perhaps one day men will no longer be interested in the unknown, no longer tantalized by mystery. This is possible, but when Man loses his curiosity one feels he will have lost most of the other things that make him human.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
The Exploration of Space
There is always a place I can take someone's curiosity and land where they end up enlightened when we're done. That's my challenge as an educator. No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.
NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON
interview, askmen
Out of the cradle, onto dry land ... here it is standing ... atoms with consciousness ... matter with curiosity.
RICHARD FEYNMAN
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
Curiosity killed the cat.
JAMES ALLAN MAIR
A Handbook of Proverbs
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
JEANETTE WINTERSON
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
Ignorance may be bliss, but only if it outweighs curiosity. Curiosity is a gateway drug to sympathy.
VICTORIA SCHWAB
The Archived
Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.
JAMES STEPHENS
"Inspirational Being"
What can limit the excursive flight of human curiosity? It dives into the bowels of the earth, explores the mine, and speculates on the formation of the world itself. The sea forms no obstacle to its career. It visits the equator and the poles, and circumnavigates the globe. Nor does it take a cursory flight only, which seems merely to measure space: it pauses to meditate and to inquire. There is not an animal that traverses the desert, there is not an insect that crawls on the ground, there is not a flower that blooms in the air, there is not a stone cast carelessly along our path, but it stops, and interrogates, and forces to declare its nature.
JOHN YOUNG
Lectures on Intellectual Philosophy
The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery every day. The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Life Magazine, May 2, 1955
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.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Today's Health, Oct. 1966
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you; you must acquire it.
SUDIE BACK
attributed, Quote Unquote
Free curiosity has greater power to stimulate learning than rigorous coercion.
ST. AUGUSTINE
Confessions
The future belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it and turn it inside out.
LONG ISLAND EXPLORIUM
Children's Museum of Science & Engineering, kidpass
People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live ... never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
letter to Otto Juliusburger, Sep. 29, 1942
Our Inquisitiveness is excited by having its gratification deferred.
