Curiosity/brain

Famous quotes containing the words curiosity and/or brain:

“Have you not budged an inch, then? Such is the daily news. Its facts appear to float in the atmosphere.... We should wash ourselves clean of such news. Of what consequence, though our planet explode, if there is no character involved in the explosion? In health we have not the least curiosity about such events. We do not live for idle amusement. I would not run round a corner to see the world blow up.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The shepherd is the brain behind the dog’s brain,
But his control of dog, like dog’s of sheep
Is never absolute—that’s the beauty of it.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
