Curiosité nest que vanité. Le plus souvent, on ne veut savoir que pour — Curiosity

"They mocked thee for too much curiosity."

"Rise up, rise up, Xarifa! lay your golden cushion down; Rise up! come to the window, and gaze with all the town!"

"I have perceived a most faint neglect of late, which I have rather blamed as mine own jealous curiosity than as a very pretence and purpose of unkindness."

"Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed."

"Everything is new to the newborn child. His gradual grasp of his environment and of the world around him are discoveries which, in experiential scope and quality, go far beyond any discovery that the most adventurous and daring explorer will ever make in his adult ife. No Columbus, no Marco Polo has ever seen stranger and more fascinating and thoroughly absorbing sights than the child that learns to perceive, to taste, to smell, to touch, to hear and see, and to use his body, his senses and his mind. No wonder the child shows an insatiable curiosity. He has the whole world to discover."

"Percunctatorem fugito, nam garrulus idem est."
