The generation into which I was born was tedious.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

You are young. No hungry generations tread you down.... The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost...

The tedious never die; that's what makes them tedious.

Every impulse we strangle will only poison us.
