Overrated Quotes

And I think that most of them are teachers, living and working in small town obscurity because that's the way they like it. Stephen King

Neil Gaiman quote: "Goodbyes are overrated."
Goodbyes are overrated. Neil Gaiman
The few love affairs which had come my way had been rather silly and sordid. They had not revealed the possibilities of love; in fact I had thought it a somewhat overrated pleasure, a brief and brutal blindness with boredom and disgust hard on its heels. Aleister Crowley
Tina Fey quote: "It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is..."
It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring on live TV. Tina Fey

Salman Rushdie quote: "Sometimes it's just over and you can't make it all right...."
Sometimes it's just over and you can't make it all right. Justification by works: an overrated idea. Salman Rushdie
Australians are very unfair in this way. They spend half of any conversation insisting that the country's dangers are vastly overrated and that there's nothing to worry about, and the other half telling you how six months ago their Uncle Bob was driving to Mudgee when a tiger snake slid out from under the dashboard and bit him on the groin, but that it's okay now because he's off the life support machine and they've discovered he can communicate with eye blinks. Bill Bryson
