Junkyard Quote 3, Week 1
"Experements have shown that even monkeys will work longer and harder to discover what is on the other side of a trapdoor than they will for either food or sex."
Smith, Huston. The World's Religions. New York : Harper-Collins, 1991. 20. Print.
This is in Response to April’s Junkyard quote: "Experements have shown that even monkeys will work longer and harder to discover what is on the other side of a trapdoor than they will for either food or sex." I find this an intriguing quote because I have often found that curiosity is a stronger motive in life than many others. Curiosity is what makes you place your hand on the stove despite your mom’s warning. It’s what makes the people in the horror move look for the “bump in the night”. We as a society want to know what is going on at all times and hate the very thought of being out of the loop. This quote shows that it’s not only the cat who’s too curious.
"Curiosoty is what makes you place your hand on the stove despite your mom's warning" - love that! It reminds me of when I was little and my mom told me not to shake up a two-liter of soda because it would fizz out all over the place when you tried to open it. Well guess what I did the next night? LOL...my mom went to open the soda and whoosh!!
