Famous quotes containing the word curiosity:
“In a house where there are small children the bathroom soon takes on the appearance of the Old Curiosity Shop.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“An impersonal and scientific knowledge of the structure of our bodies is the surest safeguard against prurient curiosity and lascivious gloating.”
—Marie Carmichael Stopes (1880–1958)
