Curious

Famous quotes containing the word curious:

“It is curious how there seems to be an instinctive disgust in Man for his nearest ancestors and relations. If only Darwin could conscientiously have traced man back to the Elephant or the Lion or the Antelope, how much ridicule and prejudice would have been spared to the doctrine of Evolution.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

“Life—how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.”
—V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

“Here lies my dear wife, a sad slattern and a shrew.
If I said I regretted her, I should lie too.”
—Anonymous. From H. J. Loaring’s Curious Records (1872)
