“The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is...” — Edmund Burke Quote

“The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.”

“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.”

“The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.”

“Curiosity is the best motive for writing: curiosity about the world at large, or about oneself.”

“Oprah has this intense curiosity that I haven't found with any interviewer.”

“The most intense curiosity and excitement prevailed, and though the weather was uncertain, enormous masses of densely packed people lined the road, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs as we flew by them.”
