Famous quotes containing the word curiosity:

    “The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree seems to wait, and neither with impatience:Mthey give no thought to the little people below them whose impatience and curiosity eat them up alive.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “the uncomfortable angels that rot
    On the slabs, a wing chipped here, an arm there:
    The brute curiosity of an angel’s stare
    Turns you, like them, to stone....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
