Quote by Ivo Andrić

“I jos jednom se javi misao s kojom je sto puta zaspao,nejasna,nikada do kraja domisljena, a uvredljiva i jadna misao: zasto je put do zene tako vijugav i tajan,i zasto on sa svojom slavom i snagom ne moze da ga predje, a prelaze ga svi gori od njega? Svi,samo on, u silnoj i smijesnoj strasti, cio svoj vijek pruza ruke kao u snu. Sta zene traze?”

“We all wear masks to veil the truth. Truth is nakedness. Truth is fear. Truth is the gardener making you sit on his lap asking you to light his cigarette. Truth is father— with a limp cigarette on his lips —telling you to never use his matches to light it for him. Truth is father yelling: "It is not nice for little girls to do so”. Truth is a curious girl wanting to ignite a match like a woman. Truth is the maid watching from the kitchen, knowing. But knowing isn’t truth. Truth is the maid calling: Come. Come. Truth is the gardener understanding. But understanding isn’t truth. Truth is the maid saying, "Stay away!" Truth is a girl thinking she is in control. That nothing happened, nothing bad. But the truest truth is a girl knowing, a girl understanding that on that day someone stole a little piece of her truth.”

“Why?”. Neurological research shows that merely wondering about an interesting question activates regions of the brain linked to reward-processing. Curiosity—the act of wondering—feels good in and of itself, and thus, questions beget more questions. Think of curiosity as a condition—“like an itch,” says the neuroscientist Charan Ranganath.”
