Bore

Famous quotes containing the word bore:

    So we may never
    Again feel fully confident of the stratagem that bore us
    And lived on a certain time after that. And it went away
    Little by little, as most things do. To profit
    By this mainstream is today’s chore and adventure.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)

    Eve: I’m afraid Mr. DeWitt would find me boring before too long.
    Miss Caswell: You won’t bore him, honey. You won’t even get a chance to talk.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
