It is important to fund young researchers who want to do curiosity-driven research. Curiosity-driven research is a part of life. Some people are curious. They want to learn more about nature and society should help that. It's like art: you can learn more and bring more beauty.

It's sort of a mental attitude about critical thinking and curiosity. It's about mindset of looking at the world in a playful and curious and creative way.

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

There are two sorts of curiosity - the momentary and the permanent. The momentary is concerned with the odd appearance on the surface of things. The permanent is attracted by the amazing and consecutive life that flows on beneath the surface of things.

The age in which we live this non-stop distraction is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.

Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age when the sense of curiosity has withered.

Children rarely want to know who their parents were before they were parents and when age finally stirs their curiosity there is no parent left to tell them.
