I think this qoute means a couple different things. First of all, i think it is saying that it is someone who helps you not be alone but isn't always there for you. With that, the company part is like he really doesn't hang out with you or anything but yet helps you. Also, it could mean someone who helps you but in the long run it really doesn't matter. This is more on the side of when you get older and the person isn't there anymore. On the other hand that could go in the complete opposite way. By this i mean the person that helps you not be lonely could help you in the future because you have more confidence in life. Last is everyone should try and have someone in there life that fits this description.

this is a tough quote but i find it falling in the category of friendship. some friends you may really love but in the real world they are not doing no good for you. Same with this quote meaning. It is stating that one whom takes comfortable independence from them but does not return friendship or company. This person is taking the time inwhich you need to succeed or even the time in which you enjoy which may be the comfort of being alone and then chooses to not follow through with it. Or does not shoose to use it wisely and instead not only wastes his but also wastes your time. This quote is saying choose friends wisely and use time according to needs and do not be wastful with time.

i think this quote means many things. It can mean that people are there for you. it can also mean that someone who is there for you but not really there but in your mind. also it can guide you to good things in life. with that guidance you can do thing that you might not of been able to do if you never had known what those people had told you. so really the quote means people are there to help you you just have to figure out what there helping you with. it's kind of like a riddle.
i think this quote is saying that this bore person is someone who is near you but does not comunicate with you. this person is disturbing your peace without him doing anything. For example, u are enjoying yur quiet time and there is someone in the kitchen playing music. That person doesn't know they are disturbing you. They are also not communicating with you while they are in the room. If you were interacting with that person it would be different. This quote is bascilly a annoying little brother or sister that doesn't care about anyone else except themselves.
Zack Ruffin
I think this quote means that you have a friend who is not there all the time. Also, it means that their just for the company. Maybe they are hanging around you just to get something from you. Some times when you are alone is because their not trying to be your friend. When you realize that your friends are not hanging around you that means that they left to join a new crowd. When it comes to picking friends pick someone or a group that would accept you. Also, who is around all the time, good or bad

Mr. Hand,
I believe that this quote means a couple of different things. But to be honest, I have to say that this quote was a little harder to figure out the meaning because I couldn't exactly make out what the point was. Anyways, the first part of this quote is kind of explaining what a bore is. "Bore" - to make a hole in or through, with or as if made by a drill. So this man makes a hole in you, and yet gives you no company to help refil the hole. As if it wanted to keep the hole empty. As if the man didn't like you and deprived you of solitude and left you with nothing.
Danielle Turner
I think this means that a person can help you feel more comforted without actually being there. They aren't there themselves but they make you feel better by keeping you company. This may include talking to the person or being there for them if they may fall. People may not always be with that person but they can move them along in like. They can encourage them not to give up. Too much of the time is spent alone and if that person is accompanied even the slightest bit, maybe they won't give up. Support is the only thing that some people need because it gives them that extra drive to do well. An example would be texting someone who has been having a tough time lately or calling them. This shows you care but you still aren't with them but in a way you are there.

This quote is kind of hard to understand, but i think it has something to do with friendship. I think it means that a boring person being around deprives you of solitude, or loneliness, but it doesnt neccesarily mean their providing you any company. Where as, a person that you enjoy being around, deprives you of solitude, and also provides you with company. I mean, yeah you arent lonley anymore when you are around a boring person, but in reality you sort are, considering they arent providing you company. This kind of person will always be there for you. But , thats all they will do. Because once you start to get older, you need to start meeting new people, that you like to be around, instead just hanging out with someone that you think is a bore.
Clare Pathe
I think the quote has something to do with friends. It may be a person who you consider a good friend. They may be a good friend to you but they may not be the best person to hang out with. You could also not have a lot of time to hang out or talk to them. So you may think of hanging out with them or something. While you are not able to and you remember times that you have had with them. Its a rather interesting quote because it makes you think about it a lot more compared to others.

I think this quote means that if someone is boring you then they aren't very good company. They Sit their and talk to you but you don't feel like there is really someone their. The boring person isn't bringing you any solitude because of his boredom. I think people need to be less boring and liven up their lives. Don' just sit around and be dull or listen to a dull person. (Wow this sounds like its going towards an infomercial). People these days just 'Live there Life". They need to stop watching their lives pass and get out their and do something.

Mr. Hand,
The quote "A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company," could mean a couple of things. The first thing that comes to mind is someone who pushes you away from everybody you know and makes you leave them, but also doesn't do anything for you. They aren't good friends, good time occupiers; they are just nothing. Why one continues to hang out with a person that ruins your social life is beyond any form of sense, but it still happens. Another thing that I think about is just someone who is a jerk. Someone, most likely a peer, who says, no, you not hanging out with your friends tonight. That would be a boring person to be with. Your life would be terrible. Your friends wouldn't want to hang out with you even if you stopped hanging out with that person because they know how you rejected them. The last thing is personal. A man could just want to be in solitude, and if you want to hang out with him, then it will be boring. These are all my thoughts on this quote which is the hardest quote to explain.

Mr. Hand,
This quote is kind of confusing. I think that it means that you may have a friend that isnt the most fun person, but has a serious impact on you. I know that I have people in my life that dont have to do much to make an impact on me. Not every person is really outgoing and trying to make imacts on people on purpose. The people that have the most impact are the people that dont try to. Some people dont want to impact people because they think that they are bad people. But in a way, "bad" people can have an impact on you in a positive. This is because you can see how you dont want to be in life.

Mr.kay,
This quote can be very confusing. But i think it might mean you can be surronded by tons of people but feel so alone. The reason i got to this was becasue I first thought of someone depriving you of solitude. I thought, if someone takes away your right to be alone then it must mean that your surronded with people. Then I thought about not being provide company. In my opinion i define company as people you know. so I ended up with being physicaly popular to mentally alone. I think this quote is very interesting becasue it completly contradicts itself. But i hope that i got some where near close to what it could mean.

I think that the person is such a bore, for they make you feel more alone as if they aren't there at all. Some people feel more comfort in being alone with themselves than being lonely with another person there.
I feel it possible for a girl to feel so alone in a room full of hundreds of people. They feel so cut off of the excitment, and the loneliness spreads to the stragglers along the outer ring.
A bore could also be the friend no one likes to be around. They always put a damper on any conversation with their bland tales. And no matter what a person tries to do, the 'friend' never changes.

I don't think I could accurately put into words what I thought of this quote. :|
I think there are 2 things that this quote could mean. One of them being that it says that there is always someone there for you but they arent present at the time. You can be not in solitude because that person is there. They couldnt provide company because that person really isnt there. My second reason will hopefully make you understand it better. The second one is like God. God isn't in your company and he doesnt leave in solitude. He is there with you but not physically with you. This quote is kind of tricky and dont know if can exactly say it in words but I get the point its getting across.

"A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company." - Anonymous.
This quote, to me, means a great many things. Mainly I think this quote means that it's someone who follows you around but doesn't really talk to you, but isn't a stalker. Nor does this person help you when you're feeling down. Instead this person just hangs around you so that you are not alone. Although it may not seem much to some people, it is an admirable thing to do.
Not everybody likes to be alone yet they still are. Mainly because some people are complete idiots and don't accept people for who they are and shun themfrom society because of it. So when this "bore" deprives them of solitude he's helping them emmensely, even if the person doesn't even know it.

I think that this quote means that a man without company is boring. You see a guys that are all nerdy and nobody that wants to talk to him. But what people don't know is that, this guy can be very funny. He could also be charming. All you have to do is give him a try. That man I am talking about is my cousin Nick. He is so into computers and is a really good guy. People dont give him a chance. It really pisses me off. He is family and and I love him.
I think this qoute means that it is a person who is with you that you know and may love, is just there. that person doesn't do much for you and you are doing more for them. This person could just be a person who is using you and thinks more for themselves than others. This person could also be a person who is a bad example of you and they could just be a bad influence. This could be someone who is not always there for you because they just care for them selves. Even thhough this person may be close to you the are just someonre better off out of your life.

I think this quote means many different things. I think it is someone who helps you not be alone but isn't always there for you. Someone that you can go to when you need help. The don't have to be there they just have to be in your mind. This may include talking to the person or being there for them went hey need you the most. People may not always be with that person but they can move them along in like. They need to stop watching their lives pass and get out their and do something.

This quote describes a person who may take away loneliness for you but is not present at the time. This may be a memory that you have had of that person that removed you from solitude, even though they were not there. Sometimes when I am upset, I think about the good memories I have had with friends and family. This usually cheers me up, even with my friends and family being absent. A picture may also bring back a memory that deprives you of solitude. Advice that someone had given you is also an example supporting this quote. Sometimes when someone gives you advice it may not help you at that exact moment, but later in life you find that it does. The person helped you, but was not there at the moment when they did. Friends and family are the best example of this quote. Your friends and family are always there to help, even if it is through a phone call or a memory.

I think this is a good quote! I think it accurately describes someone that is a bore. Somebody that butts into a conversation then takes it over. He or she discusses something that is of no interest to you. They continue to bring you back to the subject after you have changed it. This is how they deprive you of company; they don’t include you in the conversation. It is all one sided. A bore is also boring. That is what this person does, he or she bores you to the point that you find an excuse to leave.
this quote is very confusing. It is saying they deprive you of solitude, which means that you are providing them with company. But this is a contradiction because then it says they arent providing you with company. So basically it is a positive and negative, and they cancel each other out. So in the end, a bore is a bore and isnt meant to provide men with anything. I think this quote is stupid personally. Its pointless. A bore would be the definition of a man that is distant from society. I think the bore is the human mind. Its there to keep you company, but its not an actual human being.

i think that this meens that like your friends can make you feel alot more comferatable and not even be there with you. If you are in a place that is uncomferatble tehn you could talk to a friend and that could make it less uncomfertable. The peoples friends may not be there but they can always encourage them. Friends are always there for you when you fall. Some people need suport so they wont giveup. YOu can give them that support and then they wont give up. IF you encourage them then they will suceed.

Not a easy quote but i think i get the idea of it, i think it means that you have two extremes solitude or campany and most people fall into those two groups. Either you do not talk to someone so much you leave them in solitude or you dont leave someone and make them really mad at you. its werid how the quote is anonymous beacasue it is a good quote but it needs more depth to have a true meaning. Just like many other quotes many people can understand the quote just by reading it but not this for me i had to read it more than onece. Solitude and company are compltete oposeites and are usally not in the same senctence, but this a a special time. This time to better understand they compare the oposites to show what tehy mean. Had to look up what a bore man is but besides that the quote is not that hard now that i read it and see the writing techniques the writer was using. Short quote but has alot of meaning to it if you understand that the it is not stright foward and takes some thinking.

I was a little unsure about this quote so i read Cherie's to help better understand. What i read sound very true and logical to ways i have prior felt. She referenced a person or memory that will cheer you up in times of depression or solitude. So in that case the person of the past or memory does not provide company in the physical sense but helps desert feeling of solitude. I tend to have a problem with living in past memories. So im not sure if i completely agree with the quote. In a way i believe if you engulf your self in a memory, you try to stay there. Which obviously isn't considered the real world which inevitably excludes you from society. only leaving you with a mass over load of nostalgia.
This quote is accurately showing some of the people we have in our lives. Bores are the people that we sit with when nobody is at the game. We just sit with them because we have nobody else to sit with. Although the person is keeping you from being in solitude, you are still without company, because you are still just sitting. They are the people who may ask how you are, you say nothing, and then you sit in silence. Although you may not be alone, it still feels like you are alone because you do not have the company of a friend or family memeber. True friends deprive you of solitude and provide you with company, and that is how you know the difference between a bore and friend.

I think that this quote has a few different meanings. One being that someone can still help you, by not actually being there with you. They can comfort you, without having you to cry on their shoulder. Just talking with someone when they need to vent, is helping them. Although, they may not need your advice, just someone for them to listen to. Most people now a days, won't take the time to listen to one another, their to caught up in themselves. It's amazing how much you can help person, by just letting them talk to you, and actually feel cared. If their going to take a risk and go for something that maybe your unsure of, state your opinion but still tell them you'll be there to support them. All people need to know, is that someone is there for them to pick them up when the fall. Even just a friendly text, or a unexpected call can really change someone's day. This is what i believe this quote means.

I think this quote could have many differnt meanings since its kind of vague. To me this quote is saying how a person should never put another person in a situation they themselves do not want to be put in. so in a way this is saying you get what you give. a person can benefi if they can help another person as well. someone could show an interest in other people by thinking of what they would like to be done to them. the golden rule.
Andy b 6thour
To me this quote means: Solitude is valued as a time when you think, work, or are just resting without interruption. A lot can be accomplished when you are concentrating. However, solitude can be interrupted and take you away from the task at hand. When that solitude is broken you hope it is for a worthy cause. For example if I am reading and someone calls to complain, I have given up something I enjoy for something of no value. Everybodies time is important, and we don't want to waste it on unimportant things. If that interruption is not worthy of taking the time you have given up it is done in bad company.
this quote could mean many different things. But what i think it mainly means is that if someone helps you out, doesnt mean that there always there for you. A person who isnt a friend, but someone who helps you. So in the long run it really doesnt matter. but that could go in the complete opposite way. The person that helps you out, could help you in the long run because you will have more confidence. Choose friends wisely, Keep the ones who care andforget the ones that dont.
I think it means someone helping you but in the end it never really mattered. Like say someone tried to make you feel better, even though you know they can't. So it's pointless. But you don't want to tell them that because they might get mad. It doesn't end up like this all the time though, sometime people really need help and are very grateful for it when it is received. Sometimes the help they give can help you in the end, sometimes people can help you make very important choices. Sometimes it's nice to have people to help at those times.
Kymmie Brownson 6th
Ah yes, a confusing at first quote made by anonymous. There are only 5 trillion of these in existence. A shame that excellent thought become unclaimed to eventually be forgotten. Solitude and company are in a dichotomy, as if night and day. Only, there is a transition of twilight, witch cannot be the same here. There can only be lonely thoughts, or social expressions. So I cannot start to begin to describe this quote, like most of Emily Dickison's pieces, it is nothing. Just something to be interpreted, not understood

Never make a promise to finish a graphic novel in a day, Watchmam is bigger than I though.
Rule of the Media: If a novel is completely expressed though a movie, the movie will suck in comparison to the novel.
The only exception to this rule is Lord of the rings, because they didn't cut out much at all.
This means that someone deprived you after doing something by leaving the situation. They affect you in many ways and don't realy care. I guess this can mean anything to deprive you. The quote just means someone drilled a hole in you and never filled it. The quote almost reminds me of respect. I thing it could also mean you respected someone and in return they changed and dis-respected you. This may also be in a form of help. Lets say you helped someone out but in return they back stabbed you and left you for dead when you needed help. This quote was very hard to understand so I just threw a few thoughts out.

I think this quote means that whether a person is really there or not, there presence will be. Not every friend or person can be there for every harship in your life. But they will always be there for supportt. In the quote it says a man who deprieves you of solitude. I think this means that he will let you be alone enough to figure out your problems. However the next part of the quote reads without providing you with company, this means he could be there just enough to help you with your problems. I think this poem reads the ways of a human, involved but sitant at the same time.
i think this quote means when you arent with a friend or family member lets say you live in michigan and they live in ohio, and you need help so your cousin is texting you advice, so in return you feel better, and your cousin is really there for you mentally but not physically. so im stuck now, so i just read chloes for a little bit more of understanding, many people live in the past as do i, and a lot will bring you down i think, likee me when i think of olds to feel better cuz thts what a lot of people tell you to do when your sad. I dont think that nessicarly works becauuse then that leaves you feeling gloomy. bc maybe you lost someone that once did help you before. i think no one should be left alone even if they ask to, everyone needs somone to talk to once in awhile

a bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company. well, to me, this seems that this is an incorrect statement. to me, i found a bore not to always be a person, its like a noun, wether it is a person, place, or thing, it may give you a bore. unfortunately you can not always escape this bore. even when i am in solitude, wether alone or around others, which will be discussed int eh next sentence, anyeways, i have ben able to find comfort or individuality, or even entertainemtn in a solitude. now, you can be aroun d people and still bve in a solitude, because when those people may irritate you, or annoy, you have no one to talk to, and even at times, you have no where to go. thats when i go into the state of finding the good in everything, except the bad that is right in front of me, and although that may be the wrong approach to this kind of subject, well, its a start to the better understanding of me.

I think this quote is referring to someone who is only living their life halfway. The quote says that a bore is someone who is depriving you of solitude or being alone but not providing company. It means that they are physically there but they are not engaging in life enough to make it seem like they are really there. Or this quote could be referring to someone that is not very important to you. Them being near you is something you really don't notice and if you do notice, then you don't want to be bothered by their company. The last thing I can think of for this quote to mean is someone who is very shallow or self absorbed. If the person is that way then they may not even be paying attention to you and don't really care what you have to say. Its like they're not even there.
i think this quote is trying to say that not to let anyone get you down. a person can influence you good or bad. the thing is if you let it impact you. sometimes people don't help you in any way. they just try to lower you to push themselves up. it would be lke them stepping on you to get somewhere. you have to be careful who you decide who in your life that will have any importance on you choices and how you are as a person. be yourself and don't let anyone change it.
This is a tough quote but I think it is related to friendship and companionship. I think that this quote means that even without someone there, you are still able to feel their effect on you. For example, when someone dies and something happens that reminds you of this person. Someone doesn't always have to be there to make you feel better or cheer you up. Theres not going to always be someone to turn towards for help. Even being there just a little bit might give someone the support they need to go on. Just simple things as saying 'hello' or how is your day? might make someone realize that there is still people who are supportive and kind. Being kind should be an everyday gesture so that people can feel more confident.

This quote means that a person may invite you to go places but you really don't hang out with that person. I think this could be a positive situation or a negative. First the negative if a person is inviting you places and you don't really know them you should take to get to know them. The positive is people are thinking of you enough to invite you places. Another positive is you will probably get the chance to make new friends. I don't understand why someone would want to be a bore. If your going to invite people you as a host are responsible for them having a good time.

I got home really late from my game last night and fell asleep. I didn't have time to do my blog before.
This quote means that a bore would be like someone at school. Maybe you talk to them in the halls, or in a class but you never really connect with the person. You don't ever see this person outside school and there is nothing that you get from this person. A bore is just someone you are around when no one else is there. You see a bore everyday of your life but it means nothing to you. If you didn't see them one day, maybe you would be alone for a while, until another bore wonders over. A bore is kind of like a mandatory friend.
Mr Kay,
My internet was down yesterday and i had no way of getting to a computer yesterday.
This quote makes me think of friendships that people have. I think this quote means that a bore is a person who makes it look like you aren't alone but you don't get any company from them. I don't think you could consider a person who is a bore a real friend, because they don't give you company when your with them its just silence. An example of someone who would be a bore is if you don't have someone to hang out with and you invite a person over but you don't really talk much. This person is getting you out of being alone but not really providing you with company. But, a good thing about a bore is even though they don't give you too much company they could always help if you needed someone to talk to about things. I think that's how you can tell who your friends are and who the bores in the world are.

I think this means that sometimes people don't know they are doing anything that you don't like. They don't not relize that they are affecting you. Technically they are not providing you with company since they don't even know you are being affected. You may not even know of the person. Yet, when they make a decision, it's like a domino effect. Every single thing we do changes what other people do. We are all connected. So when someone does something, then that affects the a choice of another person. It doesn't have to be a big change, yet it changes million's of situations. A person will never even know how much they are affecting other people's lives.

This quote can mean a lot of things. First its saying that someone can help you out by not being themselves. They dont have to be your best friend to help you either. This could be when you are young but most likely when you get older. I think everyone needs somebody like this in their life. We all need that person who is going to help us out but not be their permanetly. Support helps people survive because in essence it supplys confidence. An example would be telling someone at school you dont normally talk too that its okay what their going through or maybe even texting them about it.

Im going with what ty said...
"i think it is saying that it is someone who helps you not be alone but isn't always there for you". There are people who are always there for you when you need to talk to them but not there to hang out and show support i guess. idk. He is like always there to answer your phone call or e-mail or text or what even but not there to hang out with you and what not. He is a friend who is with you but he is the kind of person standing in the back of the group not saying anything and not giving any support or helping you confident or comfortable in the situation.
I really didnt know what to say to this one and how to say it. Im really really sorry mr.kay
sorry for my blog being late i got to cought up in thing and forgot. im sooooooooooo sooooooo so so so so so so so sorry mr. kay. please i need this grade or im fucked for life if i dont pass your class please mr kay please im begging you please
i did it on the other one because i did them late and i did not see that they were the same.
I think the meaning of this quote has to do with the meaning of friendship. I think it means that someone can be around you and take away solitude. But, while he makes you lonely no more, he is also not really providing you with company. It is kind of a waste of a friend because he doesn't really care about you. I think this quote could also mean that you can have a good friend but he might not be good for you in the future. He doesn't contribute anything good to your future, but may be good in the short run. Overall, I think this quote can mean many things, and most of us experience them in our lives.
"A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company." - Anonymous.
I believe a bore is someone you share the same space with, but you do not converse with them. You might not have anything on common with this person. I think they are someone whpo doesnt play an active role in your life in the long run, but htey are always there. I tihnk that these people are crucial because they are someone thet is always there and they have some companionship. Howver this person can be a nuisance. I think that they might sometimes be a bother or someone who is always there but gets in your way. kind of like someone your competing against, they are alwayss there running next to you, and sometimes they get in your way.
"A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company." - Anonymous.
NO friends, but not lonely. It's boredom.
The best way for me to have fun is to interact with others. Anything that I can communicate with, such as hanging out with friends, discussing a topic, or reading books. When you're in a jail or detention room, you won't feel a loneliness but boredom. Because you've got no one to talk to, but wouldn't be in such mood to play with someone else.
To me, boredom is like a torture.
Therefore, the time in the air on the way from Korea to here was a... experience I'd never like to have again in my life; however, unfortunately, I have to. I can have fun at least if I have a basketball. But having nothing to do is a awful, and horrible situation.
Actually, but, sometimes we even feel bored even when we're talking to people. Because we're not listening, but he's solely speaking. It's pretty sad to him, isn't it?
This quote could mean a few things. First, this quote could be talking about friendship. It could also be talking about how no matter what people are always going to be there for you. It could also be a spirit that is always with you. Or simply about someone who is there for you but does not always seem like it. "A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company." This means that a friend or an acquaintance will be there to help you out when you need it.

This quote means, if you try to had to become something you are not then you will become lonely. The bore represents you attitude and how far you are willing to go to beome something you aren't. The company part probally represents how long your friends willl stick with you when are trying to be fake. The quote could also mean someone trying to help you to succseed in something but oncr you have acheived the goal. But once you have achieved your goal they leave to ensure that they were not the reason you were pushing yourself towards your greatness. I think that it is a plussible truth that a "bore" could be considered a supiror just wanting you to do well as a person and not always having everything handed to you to achieve false greatness.
