“We bore ourselves in order to earn money that we'll later spend on trying to de-bore ourselves”
“Almost always we are bored by people to whom we ourselves are boring.”
“Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?”
“Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,we ourselves flash and yearn”
“In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice. Marquis de Sade”
“Our contradictions. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.”
