“I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring.”
J. G. Ballard (1930–2009) British writer
Interview (30 October 1982) in Re/Search no. 8/9 (1984)
Context: I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again … the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
Alan Watts (1915–1973) British philosopher, writer and speaker

Context: I like long and unusual words, and anybody who does not share my tastes is not compelled to read me. Policemen and politicians are under some obligation to make themselves comprehensible to the intellectually stunted, but not I. Let my prose be tenebrous and rebarbative; let my pennyworth of thought be muffled in gorgeous habilements; lovers of Basic English will look to me in vain.
