Quote

Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

Boredom, after all, is a form of criticism.

Is boredom anything less than the sense of one's faculties slowly dying?

For boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson of your life - the lesson of your utter insignificance.

There's a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don't understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don't understand boredom.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

Boredom always precedes a period of great creativity.
