“If we wonder often, the gift of knowledge will come. If we never wonder, knowledge will never find us.”

“Be More Seem Less”

“True knowledge never shuts the door on more knowledge, but zeal often does.”

“Wonder is the desire of knowledge.”

“Wonder is the seed of knowledge”

“Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know—and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. It is better to know—even if the knowledge endures only for the moment that comes before destruction—than to gain eternal life at the price of a dull and swinish lack of comprehension of a universe that swirls unseen before us in all its wonder. That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too.”

“As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.”
