Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom. Isabelle Adjani
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other. Arthur Schopenhauer

Boredom is an emptiness filled with insistence. Leo Stein
Boredom flourishes too, when you feel safe. It's a symptom of security. Eugene Ionesco
The war between being and nothingness is the underlying illness of the twentieth century. Boredom slays more of existence than war. Norman Mailer

Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible. Frank Moore Colby

BOREDOM
Sitting all alone one day
wondering what to do
Picked up a pen and found myself
In the land of Kharmantou
The Kharmantou are little folk
Seldom seen or heard
They live in the nibs of fountain pens
Or ink that's not been stirred.
Cherish forever what makes you unique, ‘cuz you're really a yawn if it goes. Bette Midler
Every hero becomes a bore at last. Ralph Waldo Emerson
