One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man Picture Quote #1

Harry Potter to me is a bore. His talent arrives as a gift; he’s chosen. Who can identify with that? But Hermione - she’s working harder than anyone, she’s half outsider, right? Half Muggle. She shouldn’t be there at all. It’s so unfair that Harry’s the star of the books, given how hard she worked to get her powers Picture Quote #1

No, I don’t admire the genius. But I admire and love the result of the genius’s activity in the world, of which the great man is only the poor necessary tool, only, so to speak, the paltry awl to bore with Picture Quote #1

Dr. Ben Carson has the most moving personal narrative in modern presidential politics. His mother, one of 24 children, had only a third-grade education.

No one ever did anything worth doing unless they were prepared to go on with it long after it became something of a bore Picture Quote #1

I like to go full bore into something. If you have a backup plan, then you’ve already admitted defeat Picture Quote #1

You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do - and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s the bore of all time Picture Quote #1

Do not write if there is no tremendous urge to do so. At the heart, there must be an inspiration or muse or one of those old-fashioned things. Else, why bore yourself, destroy other people’s interest and kill trees? Picture Quote #1

I think laying out a beautiful picture in a beautiful way is a bloody bore. I think you’ve got to blow it right across the page and down the side, crop it, cut it in half, combine it with something else... do something with it. You’ve got to make something out of it Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the world’s second-worst crime is boredom; the first is being a bore Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the world’s second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore Picture Quote #1

I write with a sense of my future readers being ever on the verge of setting down the book and pronouncing it a bore. Fear and insecurity are great motivators Picture Quote #1

Sabotage did not involve loss of life, and it offered the best hope for future race relations. Bitterness would be kept to a minimum and, if the policy bore fruit, democratic government could become a reality Picture Quote #1

My father is incapable of showing much affection, or even of carrying on a conversation. I didn’t want to have a relationship with him just because he’s my blood relative. It would bore me Picture Quote #1

Christopher Hitchens, the late essayist and sot, was a man who purposefully cultivated a lot of friends of a certain type - rich, self-important, generally dim-witted and hence easy for a well-spoken Oxbridge debater to impress - and he electrified Washington D.C. society mainly by not being a completely charmless bore Picture Quote #1

Marx and Engels are arguably history’s most famous couple. Such was the closeness of their collaboration that it is not always easy to recall which works bore both names, which just that of Marx, and which just Engels Picture Quote #1
