Men will pay large sums to whores for telling them they are not bores.
W. H. Auden

Most of my contemporaries at school entered the World of Business, the logical destiny of bores.
Barry Humphries

Nobody bores any man as much as an unhappy female.
Moss Hart

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

One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Society is now one polished horde, formed of two mighty tries, the Bores and Bored.
Lord Byron

Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death.
Lars Ulrich

The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.
Charles Dickens

The English sent all their bores abroad, and acquired the Empire as a punishment.
Edward Bond

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
Andre Gide

Under pressure, people admit to murder, setting fire to the village church or robbing a bank, but never to being bores.
Elsa Maxwell

When a man bores a woman, she complains. When a woman bores a man, he ignores her.
Mason Cooley
