It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part it's better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap.

The newly decorated theatres produced things like car parks and restaurants so you could have a good night out quite cheaply without all that bother of having to go somewhere else.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all but goes on making his own business better all the time.

When I turned 60 it didn't bother me at all.

Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.

I don't know that I spent any more time alone than any other kid but being by myself never bothered me.

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.
