The world seemed cruel and boring, and I'm not sure which was worse. (Paul Graham)
Why do people move to suburbia? To have kids! So no wonder it seemed boring and sterile. The whole place was a giant nursery, an artificial town created explicitly for the purpose of breeding children. View quote
Paul Graham
Plato is boring. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
Age and truth. Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
The combination of low culture and high technology is one of the most fascinating social features of the video game phenomenon. Computers were invented as super drones to do tasks no human in her or his right mind (much less left brain) would have the patience, or the perseverance, to manage. [...] Now our robot drones, the ones designed to take all the boring jobs, become the instrument for libidinal extravaganzas devoid of any socially productive component. Video games are computers neutered of purpose, liberated from functionality. The idea is intoxicating; like playing with the help on their night off. View quote
Charles Bernstein
Every kind of music is good, except the boring kind. View quote
Gioachino Rossini

Mac Barnett
Show me a person who doesn't have a past and I'll show you a boring bastard. View quote
Marian Keyes
I am really interested in eccentric minds. It's rather like being fascinated by how cars work. It's really boring if your car works all the time. But as soon as something happens, you get the bonnet up. If someone has an abnormal or dysfunctional state of mind, you get the bonnet up. (Mark Haddon)
Eating vegetarian doesn't mean you have to eat boring, humdrum dishes. View quote
Marcus Samuelsson
With all the endless varieties and toppings you can add to burgers, there's no need to keep munching on the boring burgers and ketchup found at all the tailgating events and BBQs. View quote
Marcus Samuelsson
Conscience is a creator of meaning. As a sense of constraint rooted in our emotional ties to one another, it prevents life from devolving into nothing but a long and essentially boring game of attempted dominance over our fellow human beings, and for every limitation conscience imposes on us, it gives us a moment of connectedness with an other, a bridge to someone or something outside of our often meaningless schemes. View quote
Martha Stout
I never thought meeting you would be this boring. I thought we'd put our Italian emotion into gear and scream the place down. I never expected indifference. View quote
Melina Marchetta
It used to be that people could be painfully boring in private. Facebook changed all that. View quote
Andy Borowitz
I find that each job that I do, the thing that gets me there is when I'm not smarter than it, when I don't know instantly how that thing is made. Because if I do, then it's boring. Or it would be simple. View quote
Michelle Williams
It is better to struggle at work you really enjoy than to succeed in work you find boring and which fails to excite you. View quote

Do you want to increase your hunger for the Lord? Try weaning yourself from the world's diet- be prepared for some withdrawal symptoms when you turn off the radio and the TV and eliminate unnecessary activities. Then begin feeding on the Word of God. At first, it may seem bland and boring; but in time, you will discover that it satisfies in a far deeper, richer way than those things you once thought were so filling. View quote
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
I guess for my skin, I clean it and moisturize and try to drink water. How boring is this though? I'm convinced that it comes from within. If you're happy and healthy, it shows. View quote
Olivia Wilde
I'd be a conservative if I'd never met any. They're selfish, mean-spirited, egocentric, reactionary, and boring. (Pat Conroy)
The government is huge, stupid, greedy and makes nosy, officious and dangerous intrusions into the smallest corners of life this much we can stand. But the real problem is that government is boring. We could cure or mitigate the other ills Washington visits on us if we could only bring ourselves to pay attention to Washington itself. But we cannot. View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
There is that kind of happiness. There is the love and marriage and family kind of happiness, which is exceedingly boring to describe but nonetheless is important to have and dreadful not to have. View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
...let's talk about soccer scores. There are a few things that people all around the world need to admit to themselves. Trade restraints slow economic growth, the euro is not a reserve currency and scoreless sports ties are boring. View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
Any new property is always risky. And my show really didn't have a strong hook to it. I couldn't come up with a tag line for it. I just liked that it was friendly and nice, just two friends that hang out in a weird world. I think that's what was risky. It was boring and you couldn't see where it would go. I mean, I could. But I don't think anyone else could see where it could go, in the beginning. View quote
