Quote · 400 BC

“Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.”

Socrates

Quote · 1930

“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”

Albert Einstein

Quote · 1790

“Wonder... And not any expectation of advantage from its discoveries, is the first principle which prompts mankind to the study of Philosophy, of that science which pretends to lay open the concealed connections that unite the various appearances of nature.”

Adam Smith
