Wherever we direct our attention to Hindu literature the notion of infinity presents itself.
William Jones

A great work of art is one that continues to repay attention.
Christopher Ricks
-
My imagination would never have served me as it has, but for the habit of commonplace, humble, patient, daily, toiling, drudging attention.
Charles Dickens

Frivolity, under whatever form it appears, deprives attention of its power, thought of its originality, and sentiment of its depth.
Madame de Stael

Conor Oberst
Bright Eyes
-
I invite you, citizens, to open your eyes and to give serious attention to the future. Reflect on the disasters which may ensue from longer obstinacy. Submit to lawful authority, if you wish to preserve the South untouched. Save your families and your property.
Toussaint Louverture
-
As a general rule-never substitute the symbol for the thing signified, unless it is impossible to show the thing itself; for the child's attention is so taken up with the symbol that he will forget what it signifies.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
-
It remains a mystery to me why some of that pulp fiction should be judged inferior to the rafts and rafts of bad social literary fiction which continues to be treated by literary editors as if it were somehow superior, or at least worthier of our attention. The careerist literary imperialism of the Bloomsbury years did a lot to produce fiction's present unseemly polarities.
Michael Moorcock

I think most people don't really understand all that it takes to stand on your toes, and to be able to jump and land without any noise, or for a male dancer to be able to lift a girl.

Having a biological system that keeps pumping out stress hormones to deal with real or imagined threats leads to physical problems: sleep disturbances, headaches, unexplained pain, oversensitivity to touch or sound. Being so agitated or shut down keeps them from being able to focus their attention and concentration. To relieve their tension, they engage in chronic masturbation, rocking, or self-harming activities (biting, cutting, burning, and hitting themselves, pulling their hair out, picking at their skin until it bled). It also leads to difficulties with language processing and fine-motor coordination. Spending all their energy on staying in control, they usually have trouble paying attention to things, like schoolwork, that are not directly relevant to survival, and their hyperarousal makes them easily distracted.
Bessel van der Kolk

Reba McEntire
-

Seth Godin

Bran Ferren
-

Nikki Gemmell
