Why Bother Quotes

Someone could be amazing at what they do, but if you don’t like them, why bother hiring them? Picture Quote #1

Why bother choosing a certain chair? Because that chair says something about you Picture Quote #1

I realize that idealism is out of sync with the cynicism of our age. Skepticism has come to be synonymous with sophistication, and glibness is mistaken for intelligence. In such an atmosphere, why bother aiming high? Far too many people don’t. I just want to reassure people to have the courage to persevere, to keep following their hearts even when others scoff. Don’t be beaten down by naysayers. Don’t let the odds scare you from even trying Picture Quote #1

If the playwright knew every little thing about his play, why bother? There must be discovery all the time, otherwise why bother to do it? Picture Quote #1

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know Picture Quote #1

So I made an outline. Well, you know, days are going by, and I am not writing anything because this thing is laid out in front of me. It’s as if you get every brochure for a trip you are going to go on and you get the minutest details of every step along the way. Well, I really doubt you’re going to then get in the car and go. You know, it’s like, why bother if it’s all laid out in front of you? Picture Quote #1

.. The past is only an unreliable memory held in the present. The future is only a projection of our present conceptions. The present itself vanishes as soon as we try to grasp it. So why bother with attempting to establish an illusion of solid ground? Picture Quote #1

The mystery lies in the here and now. The mystery is: What is one to do with oneself? As you get older you begin to realize the trick time is playing, and that unless you do something about it, the passage of time is nothing but the encroachment of the horrible banality of the past on the pure future. The past devours the future like a tape recorder, converting pure possibility into banality. The present is the tape head, the mouth of time. Then where is the mystery and why bother kicking through the ashes? Because there is a clue in the past Picture Quote #1

If halfway love is all you want or all you care to give, why bother with love at all and only halfway live Picture Quote #1

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down... So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. In climbing, take careful note of the difficulties along your way; for as you go up, you can observe them. Coming down, you will no longer see them, but you will know they are there if you have observed them well Picture Quote #1

Those who live alone slide into the habit of vertical eating: why bother with the niceties when there’s no one to share or censure? But laxity in one area may lead to derangement in all Picture Quote #1

Life was messy. Always had been and always would be and that was just the way it was, so why bother complaining? You either did something about it or you didn’t, and then you lived with the choice you made Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe that you can give the same performance every take. It’s physically impossible, so why bother? If you don’t do what is happening at that moment, then it’s not real. Then you’re holding something back Picture Quote #1

If you try too much to change the outside, that shows that you are still attached. If a man tries to be detached, it shows attachment. Why bother about detachment if you are not attached? If a man escapes from women, it shows that sex is still the obsession. Otherwise, why escape from women if you are not obsessed? Picture Quote #1

School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect and nobody’s perfect so why bother Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had a humble opinion in my life. If you’re going to have one, why bother to be humble about it? Picture Quote #1

I regarded drugs as somewhat like rattlesnakes - it’s possible to pick one up without getting bit, but why bother Picture Quote #1

That’s the real power of art, I think. Not to chide but to provoke challenge. Otherwise why bother? Picture Quote #1

If the prior distribution, at which I am frankly guessing, has little or no effect on the result, then why bother; and if it has a large effect, then since I do not know what I am doing how would I dare act on the conclusions drawn? Picture Quote #1

Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, ‘Why not?’ and the other, ‘Why bother?’ Picture Quote #1

Why bother? I was right all along: the second you make yourself vulnerable to someone, they start drawing blood Picture Quote #1

First, perseverance trumps talent. Second, do what you want to do, otherwise why bother? Third, be ethical; it might rub off on others. Fourth, don’t give up Picture Quote #1

I’ve been to nudist beaches, like twice. But honestly, I just don’t want to see these people naked. Most people look better with their clothes on, and the few that don’t, look better than you, so why bother? Picture Quote #1

Still and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone Picture Quote #1

I believe that when you’re in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I’m an incurable romantic when it comes to men Picture Quote #1
