“I can excuse everything but boredom. Boring people don't have to stay that way. ”

“Anyone can be bored or unfulfilled at virtually any job. How one chooses to respond to boredom is key. Most women are resourceful: when faced with boredom, they find a way out. That's an essential skill. Those who don't have it will suffer, to be sure, but that is not society's problem.”

“Patience and boredom are closely related. Boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. You don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.”

“Banality is like boredom: bored people are boring people, people who think that things are banal are themselves banal.Interesting people can find something interesting in all things.”

“Life has to be discovered all the time. you can never say "I have done everything I can up to the age of 25, and now I have to settle down and be a responsible, boring adult in a responsible, boring world." You don't have to do that. ”

“I always think boredom is to some extent the fault of the bored.”
