1 " I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored. "
― Louis C.K.
2 " Hoarded things might easily become a menace; a mere fire-and-theft risk; a breeding-ground for destructive insects; a source of worry. Men would have plenty of anxieties, but there was no sense in accumulating worries over THINGS! That kind of worry destroyed your character. Even an unused coat, hanging in your closet—it wasn't merely a useless thing that did nobody any good; it was an active agent of destruction to your life. And your LIFE must be saved, at all costs. What would it advantage a man—Jesus had demanded—if he were to gain the whole world, and lose his own life? "
― Lloyd C. Douglas , The Robe
3 " We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.All art is quite useless. "
― Oscar Wilde , The Picture of Dorian Gray
4 " I never yet heard of a useless thing that was not ground out ofexistence by evolution sooner or later. Did you? And pain gets needless. "
― H.G. Wells , The Island of Dr. Moreau
5 " I'm bored' is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. "
