Famous quotes containing the words bore us, dont and/or 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)
“I dont think there is anything on earth more wonderful than those wistful incomplete friendships one makes now and then in an hour’s talk. You never see the people again, but the lingering sense of their presence in the world is like the glow of an unseen city at night—makes you feel the teemingness of it all.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
