“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering 'bout the big things and asking 'bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.”
— Alice Walker

Simplified Meaning:
This quote talks about the importance of curiosity and asking questions about life. When we think deeply about big, complex topics like the meaning of life or our purpose, we often end up learning about smaller, everyday things without even trying. For example, someone might wonder about the meaning of happiness and, in that process, discover that spending time with family brings joy. Even though we may never fully understand the big questions, our curiosity makes us appreciate and love life more. Being curious helps us notice and value the little details that we might otherwise overlook, making our lives richer and more fulfilling. By constantly asking and wondering, we open ourselves up to love and understand the world around us better.
