1 " The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing. "
― Oscar Wilde , The Soul of Man Under Socialism, and Selected Critical Prose
2 " Good sociologists have always had an insatiable curiosity about about even the trivialities of human behaviour, and if this curiosity leads a sociologist to devote many years to the painstaking exploration of some small corner of the social world that may appear quite trivial to others, so be it: Why do more teenagers pick their noses in rural Minnesota than in rural Iowa? What are the patterns of church socials over a twenty-year period in small-town Saskatchewan? What is the correlation between religious affiliation and accident-proneness among elderly Hungarians? "
― Peter L. Berger
