“Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief”
William Shakespeare
“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.”
Christina G. Rossetti
“Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man”
“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.”
Oscar Wilde
“Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave”
“I am in blood Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er”
“Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale.”
