Curiosity
in children ... is but an appetite after knowledge and therefore
ought to be encouraged in them, not only as a good sign, but as the
great instrument nature has provided to remove that ignorance they
were born with and which, without this busy inquisitiveness, will
make them dull and useless creatures. - John
Locke
Curiosity is a
feeling which causes us not to be content with the beauty and fragrance of the
flower, but which prompts us to look under the rose. - Mrs. Inchbald

is a result of cognitive conflict or a gap in knowledge that is
elicited by the stimuli or situation. For example, children are most
curious when they see an outcome of an event that is inconsistent
with their expectations. - David
Klahr, Bryan Matlen & Jamie Kirout
Curiosity is less to do with cats as it with the natural human need to know new things. In fact, it is arguably the most powerful force we have, as it drives human evolution. The need for novelty, for finding new things, leads us not only into trouble but also into marvellous new discoveries. - Unknown

So
blind is the curiosity by which mortals are possessed, that they
often conduct their minds along unexplored routes, having no reason
to hope for success, but merely being willing to risk the experiment
of finding whether the truth they seek lies there. - Rene
Descartes
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. - Dorothy Parker

belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke
at it, question it and turn it inside out. - Unknown
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. - Albert Einstein
There are young men and women up and down the land who happily (or unhappily) tell anyone who will listen that they don't have an academic turn of mind, or that they aren't lucky enough to have been blessed with a good memory, and yet can recite hundreds of pop lyrics and reel off any amount of information about footballers. Why? Because they are interested in those things. They are curious. If you are hungry for food, you are prepared to hunt high and low for it. If you are hungry for information it is the same. Information is all around us, now more than ever before in human history. You barely have to stir or incommode yourself to find things out. The only reason people do not know much is because they do not care to know. They are incurious. Incuriosity is the oddest and the most foolish failing there is. - Stephen Fry
Thinkers aren't limited by what they know, because they can always increase what they know. Rather they're limited by what puzzles them, because there's no way to become curious about something that doesn't puzzle you. - Daniel Quinn
When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. - Walt Disney
