Quotes

Just as there is nothing more boring than boredom, nothing more exciting than excitement, nothing more lovable than love or hateful than hatred, so there is nothing that arouses interest so much as interest. Interesting people are interested people, and an enthusiasm — be it as thankless as birdwatching or as bizarre as philately — marks out the enthusiast as a source of curious learning and a person with a mind that glows.

Roger Scruton
