"Désir de savoir pourquoi et comment la curiosité telle qu'elle n'existe chez aucune créature vivante à part l'homme."

Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:

Humans are unique because they always want to understand things, to learn why and how things happen. Think about a scientist studying the stars. They look up at the night sky and wonder: "What are stars made of? How do they shine?" This desire to learn and understand is called curiosity. Unlike animals that just live their lives following their instincts, people have a strong need to ask questions and find answers. This curiosity leads to new discoveries and inventions, like how exploring the nature of electricity led to the invention of light bulbs. By being curious, people can solve problems, improve their lives, and even change the world. So, if you have questions or are puzzled by something, don't be afraid to explore and find out more.
