I can feel the surface trembling—it seems ready to give but it never does. I am uninterested in current events. How can I justify this? How can I explain it?

When Byron divided humanity into the bores and bored, he omitted to notice that the higher qualities exist entirely in the bores, the lower qualities in the bored, among whom he counted himself. The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, his solemn happiness, may, in some sense, have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic.” ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

Though if he’d been a mime, odds are he’d already be dead.” ~ Bret Easton Ellis

What gets him lit up the most in any conversation is bringing jobs into these midwestern states that have suffered because of technology and trade policies.” ~ Christopher Ruddy
- “One of the reasons that people are so fascinated by Jared Kushner is that he has had no role at all in anything close to politics up to this point I mean much like his father-in-law, and he’s just such an unknown figure.

- “Where all the people who used to say they were unbiased and uninterested in the outcome, all of that’s off the table and we’re up against some of the most vicious partisans everywhere we look, and Trump is the answer.

That’s exactly why they haven’t been able to put him away so far, because Trump answers that question: “What can we do?”” ~ Donald Trump

Even though you can feel it all there, that’s just not what it’s focused on.” ~ Danielle Dutton

A man, or a group, finds it unbearable that someone can be simply uninterested in his, or its, convictions. … There is a degree of complicity, or mutual respect, between the believer and the man who attacks his beliefs (the revolutionary), for the latter takes them seriously.” ~ John Carroll

That’s what you did in Victorian times.” ~ Aleksandra Mir
-

God is not another being; we are talking about something much more profound.” ~ Karen Armstrong

- “It is therefore absurd to approach the subject of health piecemeal with a departmentalized band of specialists. A medical doctor uninterested in nutrition, in agriculture, in the wholesomeness of mind and spirit is as absurd as a farmer who is uninterested in health. Our fragmentation of this subject cannot be our cure, because it is our disease. The body cannot be whole alone. Persons cannot be whole alone. It is wrong to think that bodily health is compatible with spiritual confusion or cultural disorder, or with polluted air and water or impoverished soil.” ~ Wendell Berry
