When the time is waiting, and judgement wants to advance, from time to time and
with revealing results, the dense grey drowsiness away, and the clarity becomes present for a few minutes.

Dibujos inútiles para pensar.
Cuando el tiempo se queda esperando y el entendimiento quiere avanzar, a veces con resultados reveladores, la densa somnolencia gris desaparece y la claridad se hace presente durante unos minutos.
“Curiosity?” asked Mr. Eastman.
“Yes,” I replied,
“Yes,” I replied,
“curiosity, which mayor may not eventuate in something useful, is probably the outstanding characteristic of modern thinking. It is not new. It goes back to Galileo, Bacon, and to Sir Isaac Newton, and it must be absolutely unhampered. Institutions of learning should be devoted to the cultivation of curiosity and the less they are deflected by considerations of immediacy of application, the more likely they are to contribute not only to human welfare but to the equally important satisfaction of intellectual interest which may indeed be said to have become the ruling passion of intellectual life in modern times.”
