If sophistication is a matter of being in control of our primary reactions, we may now be sophisticated. At least we shall be fairly confident of ourselves and may, with any luck, be confident of others. Our object will be to enjoy our selves. But to make sure that our names are permanently on the cast list, it will be advisable to be of interest to others. This aim must never be confused with the desire to be popular (Interest Quotes)
All attempts at law, all religion, all ethical norms might be nothing more than attempts by the weak to restrain the strong. Then, within the law, arise the new strong, who subvert the law for their own ends of power and family interest, leaving the old strong outside their circle to pursue the waiting possibilities which they call crime. The weak, the cowardly, the decent ones, live between these groups (Interest Quotes)
I desire to go through life knowing as little of evil in it as possible.

The good only deserves a hearty interest (Interest Quotes)

I have nothing but myself to write about, no facts, no theories, no opinions, no adventures, no sentiments, nothing but my own poor barren individualism, of considerable interest to me, but I do not know why I should presume it will be so to you. Egotism is not tiresome, or it ought not to be, if one is sincere about oneself; but it is so hard to be sincere. Well, never mind, I mean to be, and you know me well enough to see through me when I am humbugging (Interest Quotes)
Not judging truth to be in nature better than falsehood, but setting a value upon both according to interest (Interest Quotes)
Lawyers belong to the people by birth and interest, and to the aristocracy by habit and taste; they may be looked upon as the connecting link of the two great classes of society (Interest Quotes)
All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital, and allowed to live only so far as the interest to the ruling class requires it (Interest Quotes)
It is this union of passionate interest in the detailed facts with equal devotion to abstract generalisation which forms the novelty in our present society (Interest Quotes)
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once (Interest Quotes)
I’m looking for trouble. A lot of people get to be a certain age and they just kind of lose interest or they give up. But I’m looking for trouble (Interest Quotes)
Solitude does not consist in living alone; it consists in living with others, with people who take no interest in you (Interest Quotes)
Like the withered roses of a once gay garland, the feelings of youth command in age a melancholy interest (Interest Quotes)
To give either to any public matter of interest or to any concern of my own, but I am in utter poverty by reason of my devotion to the God (Interest Quotes)
The development of the faculty of attention forms the real object and almost the sole interest of studies (Interest Quotes)
Americans, it seems to me, tend to protect their children from the harshness of life, in their interest. That’s not the way my people rear their children. They let them experience the world as it is (Interest Quotes)
If you’re going to make a comedy and if your sole interest is in making people laugh and feel good and entertaining them, then you check your ego at the door (Interest Quotes)
Have a special interest, a positive prejudice about some clump of trees or one particular knoll, an excitement about them can spread through the whole composition, and so fire the rest of the things that you are only mildly interested in (Interest Quotes)
Because sometimes the best leaders are the ones who have no interest in leading. Those are often the ones who are most interested in doing what is right, not what is popular (Interest Quotes)
The passions possess a certain injustice and self interest which makes it dangerous to follow them, and in reality we should distrust them even when they appear most trustworthy (Interest Quotes)
The problems that agitate one generation are exstinguished for the next, not because they have been solved but because the general lack of interest sweeps them away (Interest Quotes)
It is a maxim, founded on the universal experience of mankind, that no nation is to be trusted farther than it is bound by its interest; and no prudent statesman or politician will venture to depart from it (Interest Quotes)
