“Tragedies are all right for a while: you are concerned, you are curious, you feel good. And then it gets repetitive, it doesn't advance, it grows dreadfully boring: it is so very boring, even for me.”
“There's only one thing more boring than listening to other people's dreams, and that's listening to their problems.”

“Time is a great deadener; people forget, get bored, grow old, go away.”
“It is terribly rude to tell people that their troubles are boring.”
