Monday is a good day to amp up curiosity. It leads you farther into a subject you're learning, closer to an opportunity, opens up an entirely new possibility in life. And on Monday, well, we can all use more of that.

Here are a few thoughts on curiosity that may trigger more of your own, or perhaps a memory of a time in life when curiosity served you very, very well:

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Hyman G Rickover

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
Dorothy Parker

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason 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. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein

Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the
obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more
than the intelligence quotient.
Eugene S. Wilson

Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
William Wirt

And finally:

Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.
Steven Wright
