- EXERCISE CURIOSITY
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Albert EinsteinCuriosity, the overwhelming desire to know, is not characteristic of dead matter. Nor does it seem to be characteristic of some forms of living organism, which, for that very reason, we can scarcely bring ourselves to consider alive.
Isaac Asimov, Gaither’s Dictionary of Scientific QuotationsSo blind is the curiosity by which mortals are possessed, that they often conduct their minds along unexplored routes, having no reason to hope for success, but merely being willing to risk the experiment of finding whether the truth they seek lies there."
René Descartes, Le Discours de la Méthode (1637)
