“Society is now one polish'd horde, Form'd of two mighty tribes, the Bores and Bored.”
“If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.”
“Everybody one meets is a paradox nowadays. It is a great bore. It makes society so obvious.”
“They were like two poor little leaves in a storm which bore death and annihilation not only to the heads of individuals, but to whole towns and entire tribes. What hand could snatch it and save two small, defenseless children?”
“People who are different are beautiful. Those who follow society are boring.”
“John Wilkinson invented the horizontal boring machine, and what a boring machine it was! In fact, it’s so boring that I think I’ll go to sleep now.”
