Alice SeboldI was like I was in science class: I was curious.
About This Quote
It's hard to believe that someone could be so interested in something they are doing, but there are people who are. They don't want to do the task because of how it seems, but because of their curiosity. They are interested in something more than its practicality. They are more interested in finding the answer than getting the answer right.
