Interests

Famous quotes containing the word interests:

    “It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “A large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in everything.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
