“The more interesting life becomes, in other words, the more boredom we are doomed to experience.”

“The information paradox- that the more data we have, the stupider we become- has a social corollary, too: that the more frantically we connect, one to another, the more disconnected our relationships become.”

“A world without boredom would be dull.”

“Boredom might be construed as the impetus for achievement rather than as an obstacle to it.”

“...boredom is all about perception. It's a self-diagnosis, plain and simple. If you don't realize you're bored, you're not.”

“The mind boggles, in other words, but the brain toggles- sometimes quite rapidly, from one task to the next.”

“Giving up one activity does not guarantee you will take up a more worthy substitute.”
