Infectious Quotes

Contagious curiosity, catchy tunes, and clinical caution

Infectious quotes stretch across very different worlds - a writer's curiosity that pulls others in, a scientist's caution about disease-causing agents, and a musician's belief that a great song needs a rhythm people can't shake. Together they show how one word can describe both charm and contagion. For more on standing out through personality, see Being Famous quotes.
