What kind of comparison does the first quote make?
It compares personal interests to national interests, arguing the personal has no real importance once weighed against the national — a comparison about priority, not literal similarity.
Why is Antarctica compared to Mars in one of these quotes?
It's compared favorably — the quote calls Antarctica a paradise compared to Mars, using an even harsher environment as the reference point to make Antarctica sound more hospitable by contrast.
Is there a quote about celebrity comparisons?
Yes — one says they can understand being compared to the Kardashians, treating the comparison as reasonable rather than as an insult.
What does the fact-checking quote compare?
It compares fact-checking to writing fiction, calling fact-checking boring by comparison, a wry statement about the difference between verifying reality and inventing it.
What connects all these compared quotes?

Another simply admits fact-checking feels boring compared to writing fiction. For more on how people measure themselves against others, see our Anybody quotes or our Anybody Else quotes.
