“I think I was very often bored as a child, but boredom is not what I knew it as—what I knew was that I worried a lot”
“It was just terrible! And the worst part was, I knew what a bore I was being, I knew how I was depressing people, or even hurting their feelings- but I just couldn't stop! I just could not stop picking!”
“I think my body knew before my mind did. Or maybe I just refused to listen to what I knew.”
“I used to think I knew what was right and what was wrong, and who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are. Then the world got very gray, and I didn't know anything for a long time”
“...I was a young man. I hardly knew what I knew, let alone what I was going to know.”
“I always think boredom is to some extent the fault of the bored.”
