About this Quote
Lord Byron's quote is a commentary on the state of society in his time. He recommends that society is divided into 2 distinct groups: the Bores and the Bored. The Bores are those who are constantly talking and trying to impress others with their understanding and viewpoints. They are the ones who are constantly trying to be the center of attention. On the other hand, the Bored are those who are withdrawn in the discussions of the Bores and are merely attempting to kill time. They are the ones who are not engaged in the discussions and are simply waiting on the discussion to end.
