Quote by Orson Welles

I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.

I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.

Summary

This quote expresses the reluctance to pray out of fear that it may not be meaningful or interesting enough for God. It suggests a belief that one's prayers may not hold importance or capture God's attention. The individual likely desires to avoid 'boring' God and may feel their prayers would seem inconsequential in comparison to the grandeur of God. This statement highlights a possible lack of confidence or self-worth when it comes to personal supplication and communication with the divine.

May I repeat what I told you here: treat nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere, the cone, everything brought into proper perspective so that each side of an object or a plane is directed towards a central point. Lines parallel to the horizon give breadth... lines perpendicular to this horizon give depth. But nature for us men is more depth than surface, whence the need to introduce into our light vibrations, represented by the reds and yellows, a sufficient amount of blueness to give the feel of air.
