Pique- not to be confused with 'peak'- means to spark or stimulate, as in, "His intereset was piqued at the thought of competing in the Scripp's Spelling Bee." It is an adverb. I believe that quote is by (American) President Hoover? That was a total guess, and I only guessed it because he presided over much of the Great Depression.
