Seeking answers in Asimov's Prelude to Foundation

Yesterday night as I was reading "Prelude to Foundation", the first prequel to Asimov's Foundation saga, I stumbled upon this marvelous quote:

“Why, he wondered, did so many people spend their lives not trying to find answers to questions—not even thinking of questions to begin with? Was there anything more exciting in life than seeking answers?”

― Isaac Asimov

I guess it is why I decided to be a scientist.
