Boring Quotes (page 23)

Greta Garbo quote: "I'm afraid of NOTHING except being bored!"
I'm afraid of NOTHING except being bored! Greta Garbo
You cannot drive with your eyes in the rear-view mirro? But dignity is difficult to maintain. Stamina requires constant upkeep. Repetition is boring. And you pay for grace. John Irving
Sharon Stone quote: "Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you..."
Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you can slip into the Ladies for a read. Sharon Stone
We're freaks, the two of us, Franny and I. I'm a twenty-five-year-old freak and she's a twenty-one-year-old freak, and both those bastards are responsible. I swear to you, I could murder them both without batting an eyelash. The great teachers. The great emancipators. My God. I can't even sit down to lunch with a man any more and hold up my end of a decent conversation. I either get so bored or so goddamn preachy that if the son of a bitch had any sense, he'd break his chair over my head J. D. Salinger
I listen'd, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more. William Wordsworth
Oscar Wilde quote: "My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other..."
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's. Oscar Wilde
The poet he was escorting into Wales was a Horus-headed dud of some personal magnetism. The hair was feathered gell, the nose hooked. He stared at me and he didn’t. His eyes belonged to a magician; one bored into you, right through the lens into the depths of the vitreous humor—while the other popped and wobbled in the style of Ben Turpin. He folded in on himself, profile sharp as an axe. A labrys. This man would have no problem seeing around a corner. Iain Sinclair
Richard P. Feynman quote: "I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring."
I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring. Richard P. Feynman
Does it ever happen to you," Natasha said to her brother, when they had settled in the sitting room, "does it ever happen to you that you feel there's nothing more - nothing; that everything good has already happened? And it's not really boring, but sad?"As if it doesn't!" he said. "It's happened to me that everything's fine, everybody's merry, and it suddenly comes into my head that it's all tiresome and we all ought to die.... Leo Tolstoy
Then Frodo came forward and took the crown from Faramir and bore it to Gandalf; and Aragorn knelt, and Gandalf set the White Crown upon his head and said: Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure! J. R. R. Tolkien
There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium! The highest degree of delirium! Plunged in burning dementia! Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man's reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore. Jean Dubuffet
I became educated to the fact that the greatest pain does not come zooming down from a distant planet, but from the depths of the heart. Of course, both could happen; your wife and child could leave you, and you could be sitting alone in your empty house with nothing to live for, and in addition the Martians could bore through the roof and get you. Philip K. Dick
Ivan Turgenev quote: "That's what children are for—that their parents may not be bored."
That's what children are for—that their parents may not be bored. Ivan Turgenev
David Foster Wallace quote: "I think I was very often bored as a child, but boredom is not..."
I think I was very often bored as a child, but boredom is not what I knew it as—what I knew was that I worried a lot David Foster Wallace
What a fine fellow is Quincey! I believe in my heart of hearts that he suffered as much about Lucy’s death as any of us, but he bore himself through it like a moral Viking. If America can go on breeding men like that, she will be a power in the world indeed. Bram Stoker
