Attention Quotes

“What is more pleasant than the benevolent notice other people take of us, what is more agreeable than their compassionate empathy?  What inspires us more than addressing ears flushed with excitement, what captivates us more than exercising our own power of fascination?  What is more thrilling than an entire hall of expectant eyes, what more overwhelming than applause surging up to us?  What, lastly, equals the enchantment sparked off by the delighted attention we receive from those who profoundly delight ourselves? – Attention by other people is the more irresistible of drugs.  To receive it outshines receiving any other kind of income.  This is why glory surpasses power and why wealth is overshadowed by prominence.” ~ Caterina Fake, Founder of Flickr
