Bored Quotes (page 9)

Alas! for that accursed time. They bore thee o'er the billow, From love to titled age and crime, And an unholy pillow! From me, and from our misty clime, Where weeps the silver willow! Edgar Allan Poe
Robert Morley quote: "Show me a man who has enjoyed his school days and I’ll show..."
Show me a man who has enjoyed his school days and I’ll show you a bully and bore. Robert Morley
Of all the islands he'd visited, two stood out. The island of the past, he said, where the only time was past time and the inhabitants were bored and more or less happy, but where the weight of illusion was so great that the island sank a little deeper into the river every day. And the island of the future, where the only time was the future, and the inhabitants were planners and strivers, such strivers, said Ulises, that they were likely to end up devouring one another. Roberto Bolano
I won't talk to you about my family and you won't talk to me about yours. Family talk is either boring or self-pitying. Or it's Gothic, like a Faulkner novel. Who needs to talk about it? It's enough to live it. Chaim Potok
Lloyd Alexander quote: "King Constantine IX of Regia had been killed three times and..."
King Constantine IX of Regia had been killed three times and was bored with it. He wanted a bath. Lloyd Alexander
He made her vows she should be the only woman he would possess while he lived; that no age or wrinkles should incline him to change; for her soul would be always fine, and always young; and he should have an eternal idea in his mind of the charms she now bore; and should look into his heart for that idea, when he could find it no longer in her face. Aphra Behn
Doris Lessing quote: "How boring these emotions are that we're caught in and can't..."
How boring these emotions are that we're caught in and can't get free of, no matter how much we want to... Doris Lessing
Gerard Way quote: "The Devil got landed with a shitty job, he has to deal with..."
The Devil got landed with a shitty job, he has to deal with assholes everyday, he's probably bored as hell. Gerard Way
No, I slept as I always do when I am bored and have not the courage to amuse myself, or when I am hungry and have not the desire to eat.--The Count of Monte Cristo Alexander Dumas
People are more open about seeking help these days. They recognise the fact that the alternative to having a shrink is that you bore your friends stupid. So I figured that I might as well give someone 100 bucks an hour to hear my woes. At least someone can make a living out of listening to my tedious problems. Hugh Laurie
Time, Eddie had decided during this period, was in large part created by external events. When a lot of interesting shit was happening, time seemed to go by fast. If you got stuck with nothing but the usual boring shit, it slowed down. And when everything stopped happening, time apparently quit altogether. Just packed up and went to Coney Island. Weird but true. Stephen King
Interest is never enough. If it doesn't haunt you, you'll never write it well. What haunts and obsesses you may, with luck and labour, interest your readers. What merely interests you is sure to bore them. (from Workbook) Sarah Brightman
So the war swept over like a wave at the seashore, gathering power and size as i bore on us, overwhelming in its rush, seemingly inescapable, and then at the last moment eluded by a word from Phineas; I had simply ducked, that was all, and the wave's concentrated power had hurtled harmlessly overhead, no doubt throwing others roughly up on th beach, but leaving me peaceably treading water as before. I did not stop to think that one wave is inevitably followed by another even larger and more... John Knowles
My worst character flaw that I'm conscious of is that I tend to think my way into circles instead of resolving anything. It's paralyzing and boring for people around me. David Foster Wallace
The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this? with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need? this life is hell. W. E. B. Du Bois
