Famous quotes containing the words intellectual and/or curiosity:
“People may talk about intellectual teaching, but what we principally want is the moral teaching.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
