    “just like you sitting
    there they come and talk to me, just the same.

    They come to bother us. Why? I said I don’t
    know. Perhaps to find out what we are doing.
    Jealous, do you think? I don’t know.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize.... And a man who is puzzled and wonders thinks himself ignorant ...; therefore since they philosophized in order to escape from ignorance, evidently they were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.”
    —Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
