All my
life I've been harassed by questions: Why is
something this way and not another? How do you
account for that? This rage to understand, to fill
in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we
could only find the courage to leave our destiny to
chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our
lives, then we might be closer to the sort of
happiness that comes with innocence.

The
first and simplest emotion which we discover in the
human mind, is curiosity.
-- Edmund Burke

That
low vice, curiosity!
-- Lord Byron
1788-1824, British

It is
a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we
search for is excellent.
-- Marcus T. Cicero
