#Curiosity

"It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses."

"Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit."

"One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute."

"I set out to discover the why of it, and to transform my pleasure into knowledge."

"Curiosity is a call from knowledge."

"A monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of knowledge is for monks."

"Smile out loud! Make them wonder."

"Misfortunes make us wise"
