Curiosity/brain

Famous quotes containing the words curiosity and/or brain:

“Undoubtedly we have not questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life, before he apprehends it as truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
