Curiosity & Wonder

Kids are born scientists. They ask "why?" a hundred times a day — and somewhere along the way, most adults stop. This week's quotes are a reminder to protect that spark. From a physicist to a filmmaker to a marine biologist, each of these people did the biggest work of their lives because they never stopped wondering.
