Curiosity is the prime requisite of the novelist. — © Lucy Poate Stebbins
Curiosity is the prime requisite of the novelist.
For to be possessed of a vigorous mind is not enough; the prime requisite is rightly to apply it.
To be a good fighter pilot, there is one prime requisite think fast, and act faster.
Sincerity is the prime requisite in every approach to the God who ... hates all hypocrisy, falsehood, and deceit.
Good-fellowship, unflagging, is the prime requisite for success in our society, and the man or woman who smiles only for reasons of humor or pleasure is a deviate.
The most amazing gift about being a novelist is that you get to pursue your curiosity every day.
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime. According to some ancient manuscripts 9 is not a prime number, but beyond the distant horizon of the oceans, in the New World that I am going to discover, there are surely lots of them.
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, and 7 is a prime. Why bother with non-prime numbers when the primes can do everything?
Sigmund Freud was a novelist with a scientific background. He just didn't know he was a novelist. All those damn psychiatrists after him, they didn't know he was a novelist either.
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is a paradox; as is a paradox why the number 1 is not prime if it has no other divisors besides himself.
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is an unfortunate mistake of the devil. But if it repents, it will be saved!
It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
Curiosity is unknown. All adults were once kids and once curious, but as adults you don't remember that and you see curiosity when it's expressed in children as a pathway to household disaster. They're simply exploring their environment, manifesting their curiosity. So what you need to do is create an environment where curiosity is rewarded rather than punished, or thwarted.
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is the next prime after 8.
If we lacked curiosity, we should do less for the good of our neighbor. But, under the name of duty or pity, curiosity steals into the home of the unhappy and the needy. Perhaps even in the famous mother-love there is a good deal of curiosity.
I'm naturally curious, and I've always been driven by my curiosity. Curiosity gets people excited. Curiosity leads to new ideas, new jobs, new industries.
I don't care if 1 is prime or not, if 2 is prime or not, if 3 is prime or not. All I care is that there are more stars in the heavens than primes in the earth.
