We often forgive those who bore us, but never those whom we bore.

Francois Truffaut

We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

We are almost always bored by just those whom we must not find boring.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

We are always bored by the very people by whom it is vital not to be bored.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

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.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

A philistine is habitually bored and looks for things that won't bore him. An artist finds things boring, but is never bored.

Karl Kraus

It is so easy now to never get bored because we have our phones with us all the time and we are always looking at stuff. I think when we get bored we are the most creative.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

The Who always play 'I Can't Explain'; and we'll always play 'Wonderwall'. People ask us if we get bored of it. You can't get bored of 15,000 people shouting for 'Wonderwall'. That's better than drugs. You get a hard-on when you hear that.

Noel Gallagher

I get very bored at practice because I have run curl-flat a million times, or slant-drag. There are so many parts of the game that have become so routine that you can let it bore you, and that's not good.

Carson Palmer

He was not only a bore; he bored for England.

Malcolm Muggeridge

to my thinking, it is more pitiable to bore than to be bored.

George Eliot

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

Once I found these sticker things for your nails - Sally Hansen - those were really fun to do. They're really fun to do when you're bored, and it's better than painting your nails because you don't mess up. It looks really good, very professional. I tried a zebra one that was really pretty, but I always get a little bored of it.

Gia Coppola

The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore.

Samuel Butler

There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.

Nikki Giovanni

I get bored really easily. I get bored with people really easily. I get bored with routine easily. I don’t like things that are average, or normal. I care if I have the best – in the world about that - just wanting that great light that everybody looks at and goes ‘Ahhh’. I feel like that’s what I’ve found in my partner.
