I think it’s important that kids see another kid - Coraline - who doesn’t have guns, she doesn’t have super-powers, she’s not a super-genius.

And she does win Picture Quote #1

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger’s lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us Picture Quote #1

I don’t really go around feeling very Irish at all. I don’t go to Irish pubs. I’ve lived so many places, and I’m still so curious about the bigger world. It’s grand to be alive in a time when mobility is so accessible Picture Quote #1

I have never collected an object or figure from Africa or Oceania because of anything curious about it or because of its utility or historic interest. Everything has been chosen entirely because of its aesthetic significance; its form, feeling, structure, and plastic values Picture Quote #1

A curious observation is the uniform way that committees review curriculum for each field of study. Too often, authorities have a knee-jerk impulse to declare that ‘all curriculum areas will be the same.’ In fact, real and significant differences exist between fields of study Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I didn’t read that much. I was more interested in film and music. Now I’m curious. I want to know what it’s all about Picture Quote #1

If ‘why’ was the first and last question, then ‘because I was curious to see what would happen’ was the first and last answer. A version of it had been spoken to God Himself in the Garden of Eden, and it was destined to be the reason for the end of things at the hands of man Picture Quote #1
