Curiosity in Action
Quotation:
John Amagoalik
I got very curious at a very early age. I remember living in an iglu. My parents used to plaster the walls of the iglu with old newspapers and magazines for insulation and to keep the snow from dripping. I saw all these wonderful pictures from the magazines and saw images from other parts of the world, and that is how I got curious. … From early childhood I got addicted to reading, and I have been reading all my life
