Learning is by nature curiosity... prying into everything, reluctant to leave anything, material or immaterial, unexplained.

Philo

Free curiosity has greater power to stimulate learning than rigorous coercion. Nevertheless, the free ranging flux of curiosity is channeled by discipline under Your Law.

Saint Augustine

Nature without learning is blind, learning apart from nature is fractional, and practice in the absence of both is aimless.

Plutarch

If you try to impose a rigid discipline while teaching a child or a chimp you are working against the boundless curiosity and need for relaxed play that make learning possible in the first place... learning cannot be controlled; it is out of control by design. Learning emerges spontaneously, it proceeds in an individualistic and unpredictable way, and it achieves its goal in its own good time. Once triggered, learning will not stop--unless it is hijacked by conditioning.

Roger Fouts

Like anyone else, a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my overall life experience. Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things. So family, curiosity and hunger for knowledge all define me.

Satya Nadella

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

William Arthur Ward

It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.

David Attenborough

A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. I who alone am, I who see nothing in nature whose existence I can affirm with equal evidence to my own, behold now the semblance of my being, in all its height, variety, and curiosity, reiterated in a foreign form; so that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Play allows us to maintain curiosity while learning.

Sarah Lewis

I love learning, and I think that curiosity is a wonderful gift.

Andie MacDowell

Teaching can be learning, especially if student curiosity with the question 'What's going on here?' can be elicited.

Oliver E. Williamson

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.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

A free curiosity is more effective in learning than a rigid discipline.

Saint Augustine

Free curiosity is of more value in learning than harsh discipline.

Saint Augustine

Physics is an organized body of knowledge about nature, and a student of it says that he is learning physics, not nature. Art, like nature, has to be distinguished from the systematic study of it, which is criticism.

Northrop Frye

Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity.
