We told each other what movies we were currently watching and what books we were reading.
Ernest Cline
What we colloquially call 'feeling bored' is just the mind, acting out of a self-preserving reflex, ejecting information it has despaired of knowing where to place.
Alain de Botton
To grow interested in any piece of information, we need somewhere to 'put' it, which means some way of connecting it to an issue we already now how to care about.
Alain de Botton
The nature of the mind is to acquire, to absorb, is it not? Or rather the pattern it has created for itself is one of gathering in, and in that very activity the mind is preparing its own weariness, boredom. Interst, curiosity, is the beginning of acquisition, wich soon becomes boredom; and the urge to be free from boredom is another form of possession. So the mingd goes from boredom to interest to boredom again, til it is utterly weary; and these successive waves of interest and weariness are regarded as existence. "Commentaries on Living, Series II
Jiddhu Krsihnamurti
Evidently, a given object took no particular amount of time to draw; instead the artist took the time, or didn’t take it, at pleasure. And,similarly, things themselves possessed no fixed and intrinsic amount of interest; instead things were interesting as long as you had attention to give them. How long does it take to draw a baseball mitt? As much time as you care to give it. Not an infinite amount of time, but more time than you first imagined. For many days, so long as you want to keep drawing that mitt, and studying that mitt, there will always be a new and finer layer of distinctions to draw out and lay in. Your attention discovers—seems thereby to produce—an array of interesting features in any object, like a lamp.
Annie Dillard
People are hard to be understand, full of lies, full of corupt, if you want a friendship with them is like to have a friendship with nothing. But nothing isn't a possibility of the ability, people you can go 40....50 years studying them and what you will find is that you are old and they are new and more and more stupid. I find somebody who can I trust, it's my computer who else???It's too clever, I need to hang out with clever people not with idiots!
Deyth Banger
The characters in Person of Interest are unique in incredible way.
Deyth Banger

Deyth Banger
Harold is clever from Person of Interest.

We don't need inspiration to do something, we just need interest.
SanviWords
If a problem is clearly stated, it has no further interest to the physicist.
Peter Debye
When anyone is going wrong, it is a mistake to warn him not to go further. It is also a mistake to leave him alone. The proper course is to call his attention to something better, and frame our conversation in such a way that he becomes wholly absorbed in the better. He will then forget his old mistakes, his old faults and his old desires, and will give all his life and power to the building of that better which has engaged his new interest.
Christian D. Larson
There are certain key words you look for, in the listings. 'Jenny Agutter' is the big one. Agutter is the sure-fire harbinger of filth. (....) Late at night, I am in the gutter, looking at Agutter."=> :o))
Moran
As the new love-chemicals rushed through me (...) I discovered what love is, and found that it's just feeling very... interested. (...) I was interested in absolutely everything to do with Buck. Just looking at his face was interesting. How he stood, near a door = interesting." => >;-P
Moran
I do not find theism any more credible than materialism as a comprehensive world view. My interest is in the territory between them.
Thomas Nagel
Give them back! Give my tears back, right now——with interest!!
Natsuki Takaya
Mathematics had never had more than a secondary interest for him [her husband, George Boole]; and even logic he cared for chiefly as a means of clearing the ground of doctrines imagined to be proved, by showing that the evidence on which they were supposed to give rest had no tendency to prove them.
Mary Everest Boole
Of course, there is no conceivable way of getting by reason from the proposition "I am losing interest in this" to the proposition "This is false.
C.S. Lewis
the breaking of the interest slavery of productive work in all professional fields will grant it the primary position due to it. Money will once again be returned to its sole appropriate role of being a servant in the enormous enterprise of our national economy. It will become once again what it is, an indication of performed work and therewith the way will be paved to a higher goal, the rejection of the frenzied financial greed of our age.
Gottfried Feder
I wish I had been more interested or learned sooner, but I didn’t , and now I must face the consequences.
Jennifer Frick-Ruppert
Interest and enthusiasm are the wellspring of continually evolving community life: they create bonds which unite us whether we are young or old, nearby or far from each other; they allow human warmth and love to be the formative forces in personal and community life and striving.
Henning Hansmann
A leader must be responsible for his people not his personal interest.
Bradley B. Dalina
More interest you have more knowledge you have and more knowledge you have more questions you have and more questions means more wisdom you have and you are already inside the vein of life which is running with enormous speed.
Baris Gencel
For Tolstoy . . . anything that human beings do has its glory. . . . I think he can be said to have hated nothing that ever happened.
Mark Van Doren

If you don`t have any problems, it means you have stopped being of interest to the enemy;you are not dangerous to him.
Sunday Adelaja
You lost my interest, you aren't a nice guy and very nasty guy.
Deyth Banger
Knowledge of Nature is an account at bank, where each dividend is added to the principal and the interest is ever compounded; and hence it is that human progress, founded on natural knowledge, advances with ever increasing speed.
Grove Karl Gilbert
Humans don't have any type of interest... HAVING SO MUCH STUFF AROUND THEM AND SO LITTLE INTEREST IN THEM.
Deyth Banger
After the launch phase, your product is old news. Take advantage of the opportunity to generate interest when your product is new.
Brian Lawley
Whether I'm painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I'm not working, I'm still analyzing people.
Alice Neel
But what I mean is, lots of time you don't know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn't interest you most.
J.D. Salinger
So predictable makes you to sleep??Makes you to get interested???So what to start??? A company called Predictable???Really???
Deyth Banger
But the answer isn't just to intimidate people into consuming more 'serious' news; it is to push so-called serious outlets into learning to present important information in ways that can properly engage audiences. It is too easy to claim that serious things must be, and can almost afford to be, a bit boring. The challenge is to transcend the current dichotomy between those outlets that offer thoughtful but impotent instruction on the one hand and those that provide sensationalism stripped of responsibility on the other.
Alain de Botton
When you put yourself and your interest ahead of the people you intend to serve, it doesn't take long to find out that it's a recipe for disappointment.
Assegid Habtewold
We think we are being interesting to others when we are being interesting to ourselves.
Jack Gardner
Facts and values are entangled in science. It's not because scientists are biased, not because they are partial or influenced by other kinds of interests, but because of a commitment to reason, consistency, coherence, plausibility and replicability. These are value commitments.
Alva Noë
O: Hey youngman, you should respect me!Y: Hey oldman, you should understand me!
Toba Beta
In preparing the present volume, it has been the aim of the author to do full justice to the ample material at his command, and, where possible, to make the illustrations tell the main story to anatomists. The text of such a memoir may soon lose its interest, and belong to the past, but good figures are of permanent value. [Justifying elaborate illustrations in his monographs.]
Othniel Charles Marsh
You'll contact with me by the pressure, the need or by the interest ".
Fernando González y Lozano
The biggest mistake that you will make in life is believing that governments act in the public interest.
Steven Magee
A man limits his abilities himself according to his created interest, and then he pays very little attention to unliked things. Understand that man can become whatever he wants to be, just “Interest and Want“ play the role.
Faisal Nawaz Maitlo
Once a partner has begun to lose interest, there is apparently little the other can do to arrest the process. Like seduction, withdrawal suffers under a blanket of reticence. The very breakdown of communication is hard to discuss, unless both parties have a desire to see it restored. This leaves the lover in a desperate situation. Honest dialogue seems to produce only irritation and smothers love in the attempt to revive it. Desperate to woo the partner back at any cost, the lover might at this point be tempted to turn to romantic terrorism, the product of irredeemable situations, a gamut of tricks (sulking, jealousy, guilt) that attempt to force the partner to return love, by blowing up (in fits of tears, rage or otherwise) in front of the loved one. The terroristic partner knows he cannot realistically hope to see his love reciprocated, but the futility of something is not always (in love or in politics) a sufficient argument against it. Certain things are said not because they will be heard, but because it is important to speak.
Alain de Botton
It is when you start to have the interest of people in your heart that when you start to make a change.
Peter Adejimi
By becoming interested in the cause, we are less likely to dislike the effect.
Dale Carnegie
One person with a divine purpose, passion and power is better than 99 people who are merely interested. Passion is stronger than interest.
Israelmore Ayivor
Pesticide is meant to deal with pests as passion is to deal with unnecessary loss of interest! Passion kills the ghosts of "I can't".
Israelmore Ayivor
You don't need to think deeply before reaching out to the excuses to give. Just lose interest in it and you gain excuses at no cost!
Israelmore Ayivor
Find a target. Know where your influence is heading towards. Find out those who will be interested in what you do and “why”. Now work hard to answer the question “why?
Israelmore Ayivor
But in practical affairs, particularly in politics, men are needed who combine human experience and interest in human relations with a knowledge of science and technology.
Max Born
Refuse to be isolated. Your accomplishments are patronized by people who would get interest in them. When you don’t get connected, how will you get to know those people?
Israelmore Ayivor
One needs to pursue some sort of a creative interest in order to keep life from eating us alive.
Pawan Mishra
Life will only have a meaning once you've achieved to find your true passion and love within the limitless boundaries of destiny
Callum Illman
I have argued that this sort of thinking is problematic in at least two regards:First, the notion that nonhuman animals do not have an interest in continued existence—that they do not have an interest in their lives—involves relying on a speciesist concept of what sort of self-awareness matters morally. I have argued that every sentient being necessarily has an interest in continued existence—every sentient being values her or his life—and that to say that only those animals (human animals) who have a particular sort of self-awareness have an interest in not being treated as commodities begs the fundamental moral question. Even if, as some maintain, nonhuman animals live in an “eternal present”—and I think that is empirically not the case at the very least for most of the nonhumans we routinely exploit who do have memories of the past and a sense of the future—they have, in each moment, an interest in continuing to exist. To say that this does not count morally is simply speciesist.Second, even if animals do not have an interest in continuing to live and only have interests in not suffering, the notion that, as a practical matter, we will ever be able to accord those interests the morally required weight is simply fantasy. The notion that we property owners are ever going to accord any sort of significant weight to the interests of property in not suffering is simply unrealistic. Is it possible in theory? Yes. Is it possible as a matter of practicality in the real world. Absolutely not. Welfarists often talk about treating “farmed animals” in the way that we treat dogs and cats whom we love and regard as members of our family. Does anyone really think that is practically possible? The fact that we would not think of eating our dogs and cats is some indication that it is not.
Gary L. Francione
Education teaches children to lose interest in what matters most to them.
Paul Russell
A child thinks and acts like a child. But when you are grown, you act and think like an adult. Too many people are still childish and immature and fail to realize it's a setback in their lives.
Amaka Imani Nkosazana
My 'passion' is my priority.
Amit Kalantri
Let people stick to their philosophy, you stick to your passion.
Amit Kalantri
Don't run around looking for someone who can sexually satisfy you, run around and look for the book which will intellectually satisfy you.
Michael Bassey Johnson
A man is not for you when all he knows is to slam your back on the bed and ram into you like a wild fool. The interested ones are the ones so interested that they become very interested in only interesting things about you.
Michael Bassey Johnson
