The chosen quote from Curious, is multi-layered, much like the overall text of the work itself. This quote is addressing the difficulty in quenching one’s curiosity as well as the many ways that an initial curious question can be a beginning stepping stone to a longer path of a journey that perhaps won’t even answer the initial question, but will instead lead to a more knowledgeable mind. This quote in itself, is additionally bringing forth the topic of interest as well. In relation to Chapter Three: Puzzles and Mysteries of Curious, this quote reinforces the chapter’s theme of puzzles vs. mysteries. In comparison to the whole book, this quote hits on two key overall themes: the expansion of “normal”, and the fact that the internet is a mixed blessing when it comes to curiosity. Because the chosen quotation is again multi-layered, the quote reinforces the fact that due to difficulty in finding the answers that one is looking for, or sometimes never finding an answer, after addressing a question that is solely based on curiosity, one can easily lose interest in their overall curiosity on that subject. However, there can also be value in a difficult path. With this quote, Leslie is pointing out the fact that we learn better when the learning is hard. Not only are we more likely to gain further knowledge on other subjects that we come across on an arduous path, but we are also more likely to remember the details of the answer to our initial question due to the fact that more
The main idea of the passage was that knowledge can carry you places, even though it’s difficult to gain, and Sherman really shows this with this quote.

This quote is significant because it explains why climbers and adventurers go on these trips. They wanted an escape from reality, they wanted to break free from the prison of materialism and the set idealisms. They wanted to find themselves to feel free and true to their body and mind. It could also be that they are tired of society and how they were living their lives before, they felt the need to find reasons and explanations of
1. Why should you never designate minor children as your primary beneficiary, but instead put assets intended for them into a trust?
"We need scarcely say, that these volumes have neither principle, object, nor moral; the horror which abounds in them is too grotesque and bizarre ever to approach near the sublime, and when we did not hurry over the pages in disgust, we sometimes paused to laugh outright; and yet we suspect, that the diseased and wandering imagination, which has stepped out of all legitimate bounds, to frame these disjointed combinations and unnatural adventures, might be disciplined into something better. We heartily wish it were so, for
“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” (- Lloyd Alexander) The first time I read this, I was in awe of the statement. I really don’t know much about Lloyd Alexander other than he was an author who wrote science fiction books for children. But to me this is a profound statement about the quest for knowledge.
“finding out who one is, what he is, what he likes, what he doesn’t like, what is good for him and what bad, where he is going and what his mission is – opening oneself up to himself […] It means identifying defenses, and after defenses have been identified, it means finding the courage to give them up.”
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a story rife with the imagery of a troubled psyche. Admittedly taken largely from Stevenson’s dreams, it undoubtably sheds light on the author’s own hidden fears and desires. Written at the turn of the 19th Century, it also reflects the psychology of society in general at the same time when Sigmund Freud was setting about to do the same thing. While Freud is often criticized for his seemingly excessive emphasis on sexual suppression as the leading cause of psychological disturbances, the time period in which he lived was exceedingly strict on what constituted appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
This quote has always been inspiring in my life. I believe learning is not limited to just the classroom but takes places through out our life. Right education not only enhances personal development and social inclusion, but also increases competitiveness.
When reading a philosophy text, the following would be a question a good student would ask while reading:
One important line from the Weird
In the text "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time", Christopher Boone suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism (QUOTE). This means he can be sometimes a handful for his parents. It is because of his condition that his mother leaves and his relationship with his father breaks down. But its not just Christopher's fault his parents are having a hard time. They them selves make some bad decisions that lead to each of them feeling frustrated and even forcing themselves to do some morally bad things (QUOTE). It is these things that Christopher parents do that we, the readers, cannot accept, despite Christopher's
