Curosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it; in other words, we would never travel by sea if it meant never talking about it, and for the sheer pleasure of seeing things we could never hope to describe it it others.
-Pascal, Pensees

I don't agree at all. I don't know about traveling by sea...but there are plenty of things I would do for “the sheer pleasure of seeing things [I] could never hope to describe to others.”
Do you agree with this quote? What about others?
I wanted to think about this one a little...so I'm done.
Curiosity for curiosity's sake is a problem. That could be what he is describing.
I find that in the process of discovery I am changed and the world might be changed as well.
To me, it's more about the journey across the sea and what I experience than the actual destination.
