Best Quotes about Bores and boredom
Boredom is not an end-product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You've got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges.
Bores bore each other too; but it never seems to teach them anything.
Marquis, Don
His shortcoming is his long staying.
Lewisohn, Lewis L.
I have a fear of being boring.
Bale, Christian
Bore -- a person who talks when you wish him to listen.
Bierce, Ambrose
The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean -- when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
Miller, Henry
Perhaps the world's second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore.
Beaton, Sir Cecil
Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.
Johnson, Samuel
I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
Dickens, Charles
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
Havner, Vance
Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored.
Dyer, Wayne
A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it.
Ford, Henry
Never chain your dogs together with sausages. One must accustom one's self to be bored.
Bloomfield, Lady
Boredom is the root of all evil--the despairing refusal to be oneself.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
The penalty for success is to be bored by people who used to snub you.
Astor, Lady Nancy
Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.
Kissinger, Henry
Boredom is a disease of the mind and psyche, an insidious disease. It not only takes the joy out of life, but the creativity as well. No one of God's children should ever be bored with life.
Somebody's boring me. I think it's me.
Thomas, Dylan
He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.
One thing I can say about George... he may not be able to keep a job, but he's not boring.
Bush, Barbara
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover my mother told me as a boy (repeatedly) Ever to confess you're bored means you have no inner Resources. I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Berryman, John
All kinds are good except the kind that bores you.
Voltaire

Graham, Billy
Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
Debord, Guy
To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
Heraclitus
Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face.
Baudrillard, Jean
A bore is a man who has nothing to say and says it anyway.
People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.
Collier, Jeremy
You'll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.
Nightingale, Earl
I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
Unless one is taught what to do with success after getting it, achievement of it must inevitably leave him prey to boredom.
Russell, Bertrand
The wise person often shuns society for fear of being bored.
La Bruyere, Jean De
And 'tis remarkable that they talk most who have the least to say.
Prior, Matthew
Everyone is a bore to someone. That is unimportant. The things to avoid is being a bore to oneself.
Brenan, Gerald
My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.
