## Highlights
- To be curious, at root, is to wonder about possibilities. Curiosity is what draws us to look behind the curtain of the ordinary. It is about being impatient with the status quo, including even a status quo of one’s creation. Curiosity generates a gentle impatience with the given, the obvious, combined with a hopefulness about the new and yet unseen.

- I count curiosity as among the most basic, standing alongside even love and loneliness.
- When we see curiosity in another, we recognize in them a place for ourselves. It is a place to enjoy an intellectual adventure with another.
