“Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?”

Friedrich Nietzsche
Quote · 1662

“All human misfortune comes from this one thing: man's being unable to sit still in a room.”

Blaise Pascal
Quote · 1948

“The effect of boredom on a large scale in history is underestimated. It is a main cause of revolutions, and would soon bring to an end all the static Utopias and the farmyard civilization of the Fabians.”
