There's no one else to blame. No Bores or Old Ladies or Norton or Assassins waiting at the bridge. ~ Paul Zindel
Bores quotes by Paul Zindel
Dubai,I think is a big bore - a city deliberately built to appeal to tourism, and only built for that purpose, and not possessing a valid culture or history of its own. ~ Arthur Frommer
Bores quotes by Arthur Frommer
It seems like every year Hollywood makes an attempt to retell the Manson story, and I just couldn't be less interested in it. It's not really our crowning achievement as a civilisation. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, but it just bores me. ~ John Hawkes
Bores quotes by John Hawkes
The depth of the feeling continued to surprise and threaten me, but each time it hit again and I bore it ... I would discover that it hadn't washed me away. ~ Anne Lamott
Bores quotes by Anne Lamott
And that nice little balcony is yours? How cool it looks up there!"
He paused a moment. "Come up and see," he suggested. "I can give you a cup of tea in no time - and you won't meet any bores."
Her colour deepened - she still had the art of blushing at the right time - but she took the suggestion as lightly as it was made.
"Why not? It's too tempting - I'll take the risk," she declared.
"Oh, I'm not dangerous," he said in the same key.
In truth, he had never liked her as well as at that moment. He knew she had accepted without afterthought: he could never be a factor in her calculations, and there was a surprise, a refreshment almost, in the spontaneity of her consent. ~ Edith Wharton
Bores quotes by Edith Wharton
Authoritative people bore me: but what bores me even more are those swarms of little people who love authority and in virtue of whom the authority of the authoritative can be exercised. ~ Nanamoli Thera
Bores quotes by Nanamoli Thera
Communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I'm inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought - frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Bores quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I don't like sticking to just one thing; it bores me. ~ Judi Shekoni
Bores quotes by Judi Shekoni
Bores put you in a mental cemetery while you are still walking. ~ Elsa Maxwell
Bores quotes by Elsa Maxwell
To be honest with you, there's nothing that bores me more than sitting around with a bunch of actors talking shop. I love actors and I've got friends that are actors. They're interesting people. But for some reason, usually when it comes round to talking shop, there's a part of me that doesn't like it. ~ Matt Dillon
Bores quotes by Matt Dillon
I do not say I was ever what I would call "plain," but I have the sort of face that bores me when I see it on other people. ~ Margot Asquith
Bores quotes by Margot Asquith

Bores quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Now when I bore people at a party they think it's their fault. ~ Henry A. Kissinger
Bores quotes by Henry A. Kissinger
People frequently bore me, sometimes amuse me, most often irritate me, but rarely intrigue me. ~ Jeaniene Frost
Bores quotes by Jeaniene Frost
It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve. ~ George Orwell
Bores quotes by George Orwell
War? War is an organized bore. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Bores quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Monsters know when they are recognized, just as bores do. ~ Thomas Harris
Bores quotes by Thomas Harris
The English sent all their bores abroad, and acquired the Empire as a punishment. ~ Edward Bond
Bores quotes by Edward Bond
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
Bores quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
History is the same thing over and over again. ~ Woody Allen
Bores quotes by Woody Allen
You have that someone. That's all I've been trying to say. Don't give up on him just because he bores you. Or doesn't pick up his socks. ~ Taylor Jenkins Reid
Bores quotes by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I was a self-centered bore. I was masochistic, and only thought I was happy. When I woke up and said, "there must be something wrong with me", I grew up. Because I never understood myself, how could I hope to understand anyone else? That's why I can truly say that now I can give a woman love for the first time in my life, because I can understand her. ~ Cary Grant
Bores quotes by Cary Grant
If Jesus bore the cross, and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him? ~ Dwight L. Moody
Bores quotes by Dwight L. Moody
Politics bores you?" Bronsen said.
Julien smiled. "It does. Apologies, sir, and it is not that I haven't tried to be fascinated. But careful and meticulous research has suggested the hypothesis that all politicians are liars, fools, and tricksters, and I have as yet come across no evidence to the contrary. They can do great damage, and rarely any good. It is the job of the sensible man to try and protect civilization from their depradations. ~ Iain Pears
Bores quotes by Iain Pears
People. Falling for each others' pretensions, fakeness and whatever various faces they can put on to wear. And then they call it love. What a fantasy. What a blasphemy. Humanity bores me. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Bores quotes by C. JoyBell C.
I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story. ~ Elvis Presley
Bores quotes by Elvis Presley
I just don't want to end up on something that bores the hell out of me. Otherwise, I'll fake a knee injury and get out of there. ~ Sasha Alexander
Bores quotes by Sasha Alexander
We tried not to smile, for smiling only encourages men to bore you and waste your time. ~ Sheila Heti
Bores quotes by Sheila Heti
I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition, ~ Yves Saint-Laurent
Bores quotes by Yves Saint-Laurent
If God bores you, tell Him that He bores you, that you prefer the vilest amusements to His presence, that you only feel at your ease when you are far from Him. ~ Francois Fenelon
Bores quotes by Francois Fenelon
It is always your heaviest bore who is astonished at the tameness of modern celebrities: naturally; for a little of his company has reduced them to a state of flaccid fatigue. ~ George Eliot
Bores quotes by George Eliot
The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor. ~ Samuel Rutherford
Bores quotes by Samuel Rutherford
The endless procession of people and things that forms the world is for me an interminable gallery of pictures whose content bores me. It doesn't interest me because the soul is a monotonous thing and is always the same in everyone; it differs only in its personal manifestations and the best part of it is that which overflows into dreams, into mannerisms and gestures, and thus becomes part of the image that so captures my interest [ ... ] This is how I experience the animate exteriors of things and beings, in pure vision, indifferent as a god from another world to their content, to their spirit. I only go deep into the surface of other people, if I want profundity I look for it in myself and in my concept of things. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Bores quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Bores quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. ~ Neil Gaiman
Bores quotes by Neil Gaiman
I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature, ~ John Berryman
Bores quotes by John Berryman
Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateurs drunks, the bores. ~ Charles Bukowski
Bores quotes by Charles Bukowski
If reading becomes a bore, mental death is on the way. Children taught to read by tedious mechanical means rapidly learn to skim over the dull text without bothering to delve into its implications
which in time will make them prey to propaganda and to assertions based on scanty evidence, or none. ~ Joan Aiken
Bores quotes by Joan Aiken
I hate everything that does not relate to literature, conversations bore me (even when they relate to literature), to visit people bores me, the joys and sorrows of my relatives bore me to my soul. Conversation takes the importance, the seriousness, the truth, out of everything I think. ~ Franz Kafka
Bores quotes by Franz Kafka
I quickly realized that friendships without tomorrows, and the little anguishes of parting, were part of the pleasures of traveling. I resolutely avoided bores, saw only those who amused me. We spent afternoons taking long walks, nights drinking and talking, and then we would leave each other, never to meet again, and there were no regrets. How simple life was. No regrets, no obligations, my acts and gestures counted for nothing, no one asked my advice, and I knew no other rule but my whims. ~ Simone De Beauvoir
Bores quotes by Simone De Beauvoir
Mystery bores me. It chores me. I know what happens and so do you. It's the machinations that wheel us there that aggravate, perplex, interest, and astound me. ~ Markus Zusak
Bores quotes by Markus Zusak
There is nothing more boring than a bored person. ~ Arlene Francis
Bores quotes by Arlene Francis
I was naturally a loner, content just to live with a woman, eat with her, sleep with her, walk down the street with her. I didn't want conversation, or to go anywhere except the racetrack or the boxing matches. I didn't understand t.v. I felt foolish paying money to go into a movie theatre and sit with other people to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores. ~ Charles Bukowski
Bores quotes by Charles Bukowski
There is no bore we dread being left alone with so much as our own minds. ~ James Russell Lowell
Bores quotes by James Russell Lowell
Cancer, like any other illness, is a bore. ~ Alan Bennett
Bores quotes by Alan Bennett
When a thing bores you, do not do it. ~ Eugene Delacroix
Bores quotes by Eugene Delacroix
My father is incapable of showing much affection, or even of carrying on a conversation. I didn't want to have a relationship with him just because he's my blood relative. It would bore me. ~ Kurt Cobain
Bores quotes by Kurt Cobain
The look of being too deliberately dressed, with everything cautiously matching, always bores me. ~ Babe Paley
Bores quotes by Babe Paley
No one ever did anything worth doing unless they were prepared to go on with it long after it became something of a bore. ~ Douglas V. Steere
Bores quotes by Douglas V. Steere
All presidents swear an oath to the Constitution to keep this country united, and when the country fell apart, Lincoln had to put it back together again, with a lot of help. But he bore total responsibility. ~ Steven Spielberg
Bores quotes by Steven Spielberg
Even as I'm shoveling up my hooter, I realize the sad truth. Coke bores me, It bores us all. We're jaded cunts, in a scene we hate, a city we hate, pretending that we're at the center of the universe, trashing ourselves with crap drugs to stave off the feeling that real life is happening somewhere else, aware that all we're doing is feeding that paranoia and disenchantment, yet somehow we're too apathetic to stop. Cause, sadly, there's nothing else of interest to stop for. ~ Irvine Welsh
Bores quotes by Irvine Welsh
I don't know about bores. Maybe you shouldn't feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them. They don't hurt anybody, most of them, and maybe they're secretly all terrific whistlers or something. Who the hell knows? Not me. ~ J.D. Salinger
Bores quotes by J.D. Salinger
Unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs. ~ Moliere
Bores quotes by Moliere
The English mode of existence in which everybody acts as if everybody else ( with few, or no exceptions ) was either an enemy or a bore. ~ John Stuart Mill
Bores quotes by John Stuart Mill
I've never bought a Dylan record. A singing poet? It just bores me to tears. I've got to tell you, if I had 10 Dylans in the final of 'American Idol,' we would not be getting 30 million viewers a week. I don't believe the Bob Dylans of this world would make 'American Idol 'a better show. ~ Simon Cowell
Bores quotes by Simon Cowell
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me,
chasin' shadows, moonlight mystery ~ The Glimmer Twins
Bores quotes by The Glimmer Twins
We always get bored with those whom we bore. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Bores quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I had a perfect life in my reach once, and it was a crashing bore. Perfect is too clean, too easy. I don't want perfect any more than I want to be perfect. I want imperfect. ~ Sarah MacLean
Bores quotes by Sarah MacLean
Bore : A fellow who can change the subject back to his topic of conversation faster than you can change it back to yours. ~ Laurence J. Peter
Bores quotes by Laurence J. Peter
The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyong reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see. ~ Edward Abbey
Bores quotes by Edward Abbey
Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty. ~ Doris Lessing
Bores quotes by Doris Lessing
There's got to be a backbone, there's got to be a skeleton to the whole way I perform, but you never want to hit the same note twice during a performance, I think. I think it's always got to be fresh so it doesn't bore me, and I always want to go out on edge. ~ Casey Abrams
Bores quotes by Casey Abrams
My suspicion is that, like me, most of you reading these pages are drawn to extremes. Moderation bores you. You seek challenges and adventures that dwell on the outer edges. The path of least resistance is not a route often traveled. ~ Dean Karnazes
Bores quotes by Dean Karnazes
Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Bores quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Show me the man who has enjoyed his schooldays and I will show you a bully and a bore. ~ Robert Morley
Bores quotes by Robert Morley
If beginnings terrify you, or if you just plain don't like writing them, or if they bore you, skip 'em. ~ Gail Carson Levine
Bores quotes by Gail Carson Levine
I read the Bible sometimes, but it bores me to death. I just want to know what other people find so bloody fascinating. ~ Keith Richards
Bores quotes by Keith Richards
That's five friends, one each for Jesu's wounds, and Godric bears their mark still on what's left of him as in their time they all bore his on them. What's friendship, when all's done, but the giving and taking of wounds? ~ Frederick Buechner
Bores quotes by Frederick Buechner
Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed. ~ Anita Loos
Bores quotes by Anita Loos
Writing bores me so. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bores quotes by Oscar Wilde
One thing above all gives charm to men's thoughts, and this is unrest. A mind that is not uneasy irritates and bores me. ~ Anatole France
Bores quotes by Anatole France
A story with a moral appended is like the bill of a mosquito. It bores you, and then injects a stinging drop to irritate your conscience. ~ O. Henry
Bores quotes by O. Henry
You see, Suzanne, history lectures bore me, art films bore me, your friends bore me, and, if you want to know the truth, I guess you bore me too. ~ Francine Pascal
Bores quotes by Francine Pascal
A writer either speaks to adults and bores kids, or speaks to kids and upsets adults. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Bores quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Sir, you have but two topics, yourself and me. I am sick of both. ~ Samuel Johnson
Bores quotes by Samuel Johnson
Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western World. Simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence. ~ William Golding
Bores quotes by William Golding
Endless motorbike talk can and does bore me. ~ Barry Sheene
Bores quotes by Barry Sheene
Yes, here I am returning, the woman who bore herself to the bottom and back. Who wanted to swim like dolphins, leaping waves and diving. Who wanted only to belong to herself. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Bores quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
Never ask a bore a question. ~ Mason Cooley
Bores quotes by Mason Cooley
We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Bores quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
He was not only a bore; he bored for England. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Bores quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's. ~ Oscar Wilde
Bores quotes by Oscar Wilde
A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience. ~ John Updike
Bores quotes by John Updike
Alas! for that accursed time They bore thee o'er the billow, From love to titled age and crime, And an unholy pillow! From me, and from our misty clime, Where weeps the silver willow! ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Bores quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. Nothing is more keenly required than a defence of bores. When Byron divided humanity into the bores and bored, he omitted to notice that the higher qualities exist entirely in the bores, the lower qualities in the bored, among whom he counted himself. The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, his solemn happiness, may, in some sense, have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Bores quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The Cross is not simply a lovely example of sacrificial love. Throwing your life away needlessly is not admirable - it is wrong. Jesus' death was only a good example if it was more than an example, if it was something absolutely necessary to rescue us. And it was. Why did Jesus have to die in order to forgive us? There was a debt to be paid - God himself paid it. There was a penalty to be born - God himself bore it. Forgiveness is always a form of costly suffering. ~ Timothy Keller
Bores quotes by Timothy Keller
The wise person often shuns society for fear of being bored. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Bores quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
The only thing an actor owes his public is not to bore them. ~ Marlon Brando
Bores quotes by Marlon Brando
inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Bores quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Every virtue inclines to stupidity, every stupidity to virtue; "stupid to the point of sanctity," they say in Russia, - let us be careful lest out of pure honesty we eventually become saints and bores! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Bores quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It's bad enough when married people bore one another, but it's much worse when only one of them bores the other. ~ Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach
Bores quotes by Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach
People who quoted the Scriptures in criticism of others were terrible bores and usually they misapplied the text. One could prove anything against anyone from the Bible. ~ Muriel Spark
Bores quotes by Muriel Spark
All bores me in the world of facts, I see an end, a limit to all things and my heart thirsts for the infinite and for eternity. ~ Marianne Von Werefkin
Bores quotes by Marianne Von Werefkin
Americans seem sometimes to believe that if you are a thinker you must be a frowning bore, because thinking is so damn serious. ~ Jacques Maritain
Bores quotes by Jacques Maritain
The leaf was darkish, and had prickles on it, But in another country, as he said, Bore a bright golden flow'r, but not in this soil; Unknown, and like esteem'd, and the dull swain Treads on it daily with his clouted shoon. ~ John Milton
Bores quotes by John Milton
The pest, in a sense, is a very superior being to us: he knows where to find us and how
usually in the bath or in sexual intercourse or asleep. ~ Charles Bukowski
Bores quotes by Charles Bukowski
I barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much. ~ Paul Auster
Bores quotes by Paul Auster
A bore or an uggo might manage not to get up anyone's nose, but if a girl's got brains and looks and personality, she's going to piss someone off, somewhere along the way. ~ Tana French
Bores quotes by Tana French
He looked at her. "We're meant to be together ... "
"And this is exactly what I mean."
"Our love is written in the stars."
"And there you go again."
"I love you."
"You bore me. ~ Derek Landy
Bores quotes by Derek Landy
The ripe, the golden month has come again, and in Virginia the chinkapins are falling. Frost sharps the middle music of the seasons, and all things living on the earth turn home again ... the fields are cut, the granaries are full, the bins are loaded to the brim with fatness, and from the cider-press the rich brown oozings of the York Imperials run. The bee bores to the belly of the grape, the fly gets old and fat and blue, he buzzes loud, crawls slow, creeps heavily to death on sill and ceiling, the sun goes down in blood and pollen across the bronzed and mown fields of the old October. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Bores quotes by Thomas Wolfe
