“I'm not afraid of life and I'm not afraid of death: Dying's the bore.”
Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980) American journalist, essayist, short story writer, novelist, and political activist
Statement at age 80 in The New York Times (3 April 1970)
Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826) 3rd President of the United States of America
Letter to John Page (15 July 1763); published in The Works of Thomas Jefferson (1905) http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=800&chapter=85791&layout=html&Itemid=27 <br class="br">1760s <br class="br">Context: To begin an affair of that kind now, and carry it on so long a time in form, is by no means a proper plan … whatever assurances I may give her in private of my esteem for her, or whatever assurances I may ask in return from her, depend on it — they must be kept in private. Necessity will oblige me to proceed in a method which is not generally thought fair; that of treating with a ward before obtaining the approbation of her guardian. I say necessity will oblige me to it, because I never can bear to remain in suspense so long a time. If I am to succeed, the sooner I know it, the less uneasiness I shall have to go through. If I am to meet with a disappointment, the sooner I know it, the more of life I shall have to wear it off: and if I do meet with one, I hope in God, and verily believe; it will be the last.
“Boredom often stems from the lack of desire to reinvent oneself. Life is anything but boring.”
