Bore

Famous quotes containing the word bore:

“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)

“Eve: I’m afraid Mr. DeWitt would find me boring before too long.
Miss Caswell: You won’t bore him, honey. You won’t even get a chance to talk.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
