If you think something is boring, try doing it for two minutes. If you still think it's boring, try it for four. If you still think it's boring, try it for eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and so on and so forth. Soon enough you'll find that it's really not boring at all.
—John Cage
You're not boring. You've got to stop saying that, or people will start believing you.
—John Green in An Abundance of Katherines
Maybe a friend is someone who wants your updates. Even if they're boring. Or sad. Or annoyingly cutesy. A friend says, "Sign me up for your boring crap, yes indeed"—because he likes you anyways. He'll tolerate your junk.
—E. Lockhart in Real Live Boyfriends
