Famous quotes containing the word tedious:

Stepped in so far, that should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.”

“Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One exhausts what they have to say in a very short time, and then they become as tedious as one’s relations.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
