Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“His sudden mad love for Sibyl Vane was a psychological phenomenon of no small interest. There was no doubt that curiosity had much to do with it, curiosity and the desire for new experiences; yet it was not a simple but rather a very complex passion.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Yes,’ he cried, ‘you have killed my love! You used to stir my imagination. Now you don’t even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid. My God! how mad I was to love you! What a fool I have been! You are nothing to me now. I will never see you again. I will never think of you. I will never mention your name. You can’t know what you were to me, once. Why, once… Oh, I can’t bear to think of it! I wish I had never laid eyes upon you! You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love if you say it mars your art! Without your art you are nothing. I would have made you famous, splendid, magnificent. The world would have worshiped you, and you would have borne my name. What are you now? A third-rate actress with a pretty face.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
"When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Cambrian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"Do you know what I don't understand about that ball game? I don't understand why I wanted to kill you."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"It is strange how ideas can float about and be ignored until they are put into a book. A book can be a weapon..."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"These observations tie in directly with the whole question of organizing. Why do we have leaders? We put some people out in the fields and all of a sudden they hit, they click. Everyone's happy with them and they begin to move mountains. With other people there are problems and heartaches. They just don't go. When we look and see what's happening, almost invariably the differences are along the lines of willingness to sacrifice and work long hours."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Everyone knows we get paid a lot of money, so why pretend otherwise?"
Quote by -Catherine Zeta-Jones
"I like all these little animals that run and eat and hide all the time. I like their faces, They seem to be scared and curious at the same time."
Quote by -Catherine Deneuve
"They start at the wrong end of love. They begin at the climax. Can you wonder why it is so miserable?"
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond."
Quote by -Oliver Goldsmith
"Well, I don't know how astute I am, but I did want to be a journalist when I was growing up."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"Comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. Once you compare yourself to someone else, what you're really saying is that what you're made of isn't good enough."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
“If swindling pays, then it will not stop. [...] you cannot have a good society unless virtue pays.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
How a person seems to show up for us is intimately connected to how we choose to show up for them.
Quote by -Marianne Williamson
Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Quote by -Zora Neale Hurston
In my new freedom I remember thinking: If one knows what he wants to do, others will not only not stand in the way but will lend a hand from simple curiosity and amazement.
Quote by -Walker Percy
�Wonderful�, the Flatline said,�I never did like to do anything simple when I could do it ass-backwards.�
Quote by -William Gibson
In the '70s I was in exile; every time I went back I wondered if they'd take my passport away.
Quote by -Tahar Ben Jelloun
We have what we seek. We don't have to rush after it. It was there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
