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

If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let our grandchildren delight to find

She read a great deal, and very soon realized how little chance she had of an interesting future. It was a disappointment to her, but she was still happy enough.

‘In the old days,’ he said, ‘writers lives were more interesting than their writing. Now-a-days neither their lives nor the writing is interesting.’

Sophie listened and felt sad. Interesting things did seem to happen, but always to somebody else.

what she doesn’t realize is
that – usually – only boring people
get bored.

I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie; it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.

I liked reading biographies of writers, even if (as was the case with Monsieur Rabelais) I’d never read any of their actual writing. I flipped to the back and found the highlighted quote (“NEVER USE A HIGHLIGHTER IN MY BOOKS”).

It’s interesting, isn’t it, to watch this character attempting to reconstruct herself, quite literally, in the midst of this chaos?

We were in Jon’s car. “I have the first part I need. The pain-killer. You see I had to go to a doctor for an ingrown toenail. He operated. Then he gave me a pain-killer afterwards. It worked great…”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see. Anyhow, I had to go back to get the toe checked. I said to the doctor, ‘That pain-killer was great, it lasted ten hours. Tell me about it.’ He told me about it. Then I asked him, ‘Can I see it?’ And he took me to this medicine cabinet and pointed it out. ‘Very interesting,’ I said. We talked a bit more, then I left. But I had a bag with me, a small travelling bag. I left it by the medicine cabinet. Then I left the office, came back. ‘Oh,’ I told the receptionist, ‘I left my bag.’ I went to get the bag and there was nobody around. I opened the cabinet and took the pain-killer.”
“You can’t do this,” I told Jon.
“I must,” he answered.

People just weren’t interesting. Maybe they weren’t supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn’t understand it.

Like anybody can tell you, I am not a very nice man. I don’t know the word. I have always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don’t like the clean-shaven boy with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and explosions. I also like vile women, drunk cursing bitches with loose stockings and sloppy mascara faces. I’m more interested in perverts than saints. I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don’t like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don’t like to be shaped by society.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

It is an interesting law of romance that a truly strong woman will choose a strong man who disagrees with her over a weak one who goes along. Strength demands intelligence, intelligence demands stimulation, and weakness is boring. It is better to find a partner you can contend with for a lifetime than one who accommodates you because he doesn’t really care.

Keep your head held high because the floor isn’t very interesting to look at.

Forming the habit of doing the common things in life in an uncommon way will guarantee you an interesting life – a life that is filled with satisfaction every day.

I’m never on Twitter. I’m never on Instagram. And that’s not by choice: it’s just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain’t really been my focus.

Huh…I’m surprised. I see, you’re actually an interesting guy! Sorry if I pissed you off. I’m an idiot at heart, so it tends to happen a lot. Don’t let that get in the way of us becoming friends! Thanks for seeing me off! Next time, let’s really sit down and talk!

Intelligence is an interesting word. It is also something which, in my opinion, is misunderstood by many people. There are those who believe that we go to school to become intelligent. Or, the more experience a person has on a particular job, the more intelligent they become. This notion is not so. All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.

You should always be interested in something.

Hello, Tori-san!! You’re not going to believe what Yuki just told me!

I had a very, very interesting childhood, but, oh my, education was the primary focus in our family.

You know… you really are something…

In my opinion, people who drive dump trucks are the most interesting people on earth.

With every roadblock, a detour is built. With every ending, a new beginning is defined. Embracing a challenge makes life interesting, but overcoming it makes life meaningful.

I think insomnia is a sign that a person is interesting.

I don’t sleep
I am friends with time who passes by in front of my open eyes
The clock can go for a long time, to my surprise
I am familiar with the dark yet light blue of the sky at dawn
I lay there in my bed, waiting, wishing, for the
sweet release but it doesn’t come
Everyone is asleep and I hear every breath and every snore
It can be a very interesting thing or such a bore
I don’t sleep.

The most interesting thing was the talk from the customers. Nobody can buy a hat without gossiping. Sophie sat in her alcove and stitched and heard […] that Wizard Howl’s castle had moved round to the cliffs again, really that man, whisper, whisper, whisper… The voices always dropped low when they talked of Wizard Howl, […] Then there would be a fleeting, fearful whisper about the Witch of the Waste. Sophie began to feel that Wizard Howl and the Witch of the Waste should get together.
