Rudyard Kipling Quotes

There are no enemies in science, professor. Only phenomena to study.

There are a million great books out there if you just go to Google. There's a lot to pull apart. A lot of crazy, unbelievable stuff that's all completely true. I get into little obsessions, and I read everything I can find on one thing, and then I move onto another.

I've always been inspired by small details that make me wander. My mother would ask me, 'What are you looking at so intensely?' I would answer, 'Everything and nothing.' She really supported my wanderings, called me Marco Polo.

You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.

That's how I prepare for anything - I read whatever I can get my hands on, talk to people. I'm a bit of a nerd like that.

It's nice to witness these discoveries at first hand.

I dug things up. I was curious. I liked to draw what I found.

Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting.

The fundamental essence of science, which I think we've lost in our education system, is poking something with a stick and seeing what happens. Embrace that process of inquiry.

I love information. I can never get enough. I get bored easily.

Anything can make me stop and look and wonder, and sometimes learn.

Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project.

Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way.

'Research,' for me, is a big word that encompasses a lot of different activities, all of them based around curiosity. Research is traveling to places, or studying snowflakes with a magnifying glass, or excavating one's memories. Research is walking around Hamburg with a notebook.

Sometimes you read something, and you have to read more and more about the background.

Everything I've ever done has been because of travel. Right from leaving Australia to where I am today - it's all been about exchanging different points of view. The most important lesson I've learnt is to look and listen to what's happening around you.

I just like to experiment.
