| | Mortimer J. Adler |  | I find the selectivity of erotic love - the choice of this man or this woman - much more intelligible if liking the person is the origin of sexual interest, rather than the other way. |
| | Mortimer J. Adler | | Unlike many of my contemporaries, I never write books for my fellow professors to read. I have no interest in the academic audience at all. I'm interested in Joe Doakes. A general audience can read any book I write - and they do. |
| | Mortimer J. Adler | | When sex comes first, and especially if it remains primary, then the love that is based on it will be fickle and short-lived-as changeable as sexual interest is. |
| | Theodor Adorno | | He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest. |
| | Theodor Adorno | | The only decent marriage would be one allowing each partner to lead an independent life, in which, instead of a fusion derived from an enforced community of economic interest, both freely accepted mutual responsibility. |
| | Thomas H. Allen | | What our Republican friends are doing, if we look at what they do and not what they say, they have decided that the most important thing in this country is to increase payments for interest on the national debt. |
| | Sidney Altman | | I am conscious of two events that sparked my early interest in science, the first being the appearance of the A-bomb. |
| | Henri Frederic Amiel | | Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender. |
| | Henri Frederic Amiel | | To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song. |
| | David Attenborough | | It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. |
