Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

I refuse to accept other people’s ideas of happiness for me. As if there’s a ‘one size fits all’ standard for happiness.

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

I don’t need interesting camera angles, I am interesting.

You can’t just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don’t just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be–and consistently.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old – or being young, for that matter.

Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.

Life is very interesting… in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

I’m not perfect, but those flaws make an interesting person.

What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art.

Do what you think is interesting, do something that you think is fun and worthwhile, because otherwise you won’t do it well anyway.

Well, I don’t play heroes obviously. I never played the guy who gets the girl. It might be interesting to do a part where I was a father in a functional family.

Sociopath is a word that has sort of become shorthand for psychopath and there’s a distinct difference, it’s interesting if you look it up. Sociopath if you look at the medical definition, the profile of a sociopath is that they are supremely intelligent people that are also pathological liars, they have no moral structure and there is one more, they have no compassion or empathy for other people.

Nothing remains interesting where anything may happen.

Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity. People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think’

I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer’s disease where they slowly began to recover other people’s lost memories.

Among the many interesting objects which will engage your attention that of providing for the common defense will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

Nothing is interesting if you’re not interested.

Ice is an interesting subject for contemplation. They told me that they had some in the ice-houses at Fresh Pond five years old which was as good as ever. Why is it that a bucket of water soon becomes putrid, but frozen remains sweet forever? It is commonly said that this is the difference between the affections and the intellect.

I don’t think perfect is interesting. I think what makes life exciting is the imperfections.

In any case, it is better to have some deal than no deal, but it’s interesting that Obama picked the day of implementing of Iran deal to impose new sanctions on North Korea.

The youth of an art is, like the youth of anything else, its most interesting period.

History is full of really good stories. That’s the main reason I got into this racket: I want to make the argument that history is interesting.

Washington politicians basically view the People as a capricious and dangerous enemy, a dumb mob whose only interesting quality happens to be their power to take away politicians’ jobs… When the government sees its people as the enemy, sooner or later that feeling gets to be mutual. And that’s when the real weirdness begins.

The more you adapt, the more interesting you are.

Bad people doing bad things is not interesting. What I find interesting is good people doing bad things.

It’s interesting to see how other people react to an oversharer.

Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.

A man without a bias cannot write interesting history – if indeed such a man exists.

. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there’s always a positive to a negative.

It’s interesting to see what’s going on with physics these days because they’re starting to come out with stuff that sounds remarkably like Buddhism and even more specifically like the ancient Hindu Vedas. Physics isn’t necessarily saying the exact same thing but I think eventually it will merge.
