Tedious Quotes (page 4)

Everything in life is miraculous. It rests within the power of each of us to awaken from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness. James Branch Cabell
William Shakespeare quote: "[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs..."
[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief. William Shakespeare
The 'swapping' is interesting. This practice one had thought confined to certain earnest Americans in the smaller, more tedious cities, to those wives and husbands who had read sex manuals and radically wanted more of life even if it had to be, like pizza, brought in from around the corner--all of this was accomplished by Bloomsbury in the lightest, most spontaneous and good-natured manner. Elizabeth Hardwick
My dear Arthur, I never talk scandal. I only talk gossip. What is the difference between scandal and gossip? Oh! Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality. Oscar Wilde
William Shakespeare quote: "I am in blood. Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,..."
I am in blood. Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er. William Shakespeare
I have always found the Bright Young People extremely tedious. The gay life seems dull and stupid to the onlooker, but the moralist is unwise to judge it harshly. It is as absurd to be angry with the young things who lead it as with a litter of puppies scampering aimlessly around, rolling one another over and chasing their tails. It is well to bear with fortitude if they cause havoc in the flower beds or break a piece of china. Some of them will be drowned because their points are not up to... W. Somerset Maugham
I well understand why analysts demand high payment, for what can be more tedious than listening to another person recount his dreams? Truman Capote
It’s the same thing. Passion is passion. It’s the excitement between the tedious spaces, and it doesn’t matter where it’s directed. Nicholas Sparks
Conversation was tedious; she wanted something big, and she believed that it would have come to her on the windswept platform of an electric tram. E. M. Forster
Blanche Ingram, after having repelled, by supercilious taciturnity, some efforts of Mrs Dent and Mrs Eshton to draw her into conversation, had first murmured over some sentimental tunes and airs on the piano, and then, having fetched a novel from the library, had flung herself in haughty listlessness on a sofa and prepared to beguile, by the spell of fiction, the tedious hours of absence. Charlotte Bronte
No one is anyone, one single immortal man is all men. Like Cornelius Agrippa, I am god, I am hero, I am philosopher, I am demon and I am world, which is a tedious way of saying that I do not exist. Jorge Luis Borges
Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is. Max Muller
Steven Morrissey quote: "It's so tedious that everyone must be defined."
It's so tedious that everyone must be defined. Steven Morrissey
I hate it, it is tedious... when I write for my act, it is very improvisational, I write bullet points, I cannot sit in front of a computer; that is not my style. Kathy Griffin
It is not that Shakespeare's art is in technicolor and fancy, and that real life is black and white and tedious. The life that Shakespeare was living was the only life he had, and he had to use it to create what he was doing. Stephen Greenblatt
