- Metallica99◆ Only boring people get bored.
- Ruth Burke99◆ We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.
- David Bottoms99◆ Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it's exciting, and if you do it every day it's exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it's not good any more.
- Andy Warhol99◆ At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.
- Benjamin J. Carey99◆ Considering Adrian had once gotten bored while reading while reading a particularly long menu, I had a hard time imagining he'd read the Hugo book in any language.
- Richelle Mead99◆ I am never bored; to be bored is an insult to one's self.
- Jules Renard99◆ I find her anecdotes more efficacious than sheep-counting, rain on a tin roof, or alanol tablets.... you will find me and Morpheus, off in a corner, necking.
- Dorothy Parker99◆ ... millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
- Susan Ertz99◆ Our labour preserves us from three great evils -- weariness, vice, and want.
- Voltaire99◆ He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
- Albert Camus99◆ When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored.
- Eric Hoffer99◆ To me, at least in retrospect, the really interesting question is why dullness proves to be such a powerful impediment to attention. Why we recoil from the dull. Maybe it's because dullness is intrinsically painful; maybe that's where phrases like ‘deadly dull' or ‘excruciatingly dull' come from. But there might be more to it. Maybe dullness is associated with psychic pain because something that's dull or opaque fails to provide enough stimulation to distract people from some other, deeper type of pain that is always there, if only in an ambient, low-level way, and which most of us spend nearly all our time and energy trying to distract ourselves from feeling, or at least from feeling directly or with our full attention. Admittedly, the whole thing's pretty confusing, and hard to talk about abstractly…but surely something must lie behind not just Muzak in dull or tedious places any more but now also actual TV in waiting rooms, supermarkets' checkouts, airport gates, SUVs' backseats. Walkman, iPods, BlackBerries, cell phones that attach to your head. This terror of silence with nothing diverting to do. I can't think anyone really believes that today's so-called ‘information society' is just about information. Everyone knows it's about something else, way down.
- David Foster Wallace99◆ You never realize how boring your life is until someone asks what you like to do for fun...
- 99◆ Without humor, life is boring. Without love, life is hopeless. Without God, life is impossible.
- Carissa Aydaa99
