Yesterday I visited the British Museum an exceedingly tiresome affair. It quite crushes a person to see so much at once and I wandered from hall to hall with a weary and heavy heart. The present is burdened too much with the past.

Abenthy gave me an appraising look. I'd been waiting for it. It was the look that said, You don't sound as young as you look. I hoped he'd come to grips with it fairly soon. It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.
Patrick Rothfuss

One of the world's most tiresome questions is what object one would bring to a desert island,because people always answer a deck of cards or Anna Karenina when the obvious answer is a well equipped boat and a crew to sail me off the island and back home where I can play all the card games and read all the Russian novels I want.

Girls like you are responsible for all the tiresome colorless marriages all those ghastly inefficiencies that pass as feminine qualities.

If I ever hear Power to the people again, I'llà I just found out that John Lennon wrote that song, All we are saying is give peace a chance. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was terrible I hated that song. They used to bring out the Pete Seeger wind-up toy to sing it. Tiresome.
