There is no such thing as a boring person when you are lonely or extremely bored.

Being bored is the price we pay for not being insane.

Loneliness tortures many if not most of the elderly more intensely and more frequently than it torments many if not most of us who will never be or have not yet been pushed or pulled into old age.

You cannot force someone to believe something they do not believe; you can only manage to force them to speak or act as if they do.

An ignorant man who is regarded as knowledgeable by people who are more ignorant than him is still ignorant.

Some people talk about other people’s failures with so much pleasure that you would swear they are talking about their own successes.
