Boredom Quotes (page 7)

The essential advantage for a poet is not to have a beautiful world with which to deal; it is to be able to see beneath both beauty and ugliness; to see the boredom, and the horror, and the glory. T. S. Eliot
Yes, interest! The worm of interest. Are you surprised? No? Yes? One conclusion I have reached here after a year in my cell is that the only emotion people feel nowadays is interest or the lack of it. Curiosity and interest and boredom have replaced the so-called emotions we used to read about in novels or see registered on actors' faces. Even the horrors of the age translate into interest. Did you ever watch anybody pick up a newspaper and read the headline PLANE CRASH KILLS THREE... Walker Percy
William S. Burroughs quote: "In the U.S. you have to be a deviant or die of boredom."
In the U.S. you have to be a deviant or die of boredom. William S. Burroughs
If life? the craving for which is the very essence of our being? were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing. Arthur Schopenhauer
Thingschanging, failing apart, fading, another year, a few moremoves, a hard person who doesn't give a fuck, a boredom somonumental it humbles, arrangements so fleeting made bypeople you don't even know that it requires you to lose anysense of reality you might have once acquired, expectationsso unreasonable you become superstitious about evermatching them.

Fear, boredom, and resistance--they all go to makewhat we call stupid children. John Holt
And if you sat at the dinner table long enough, whether in punishment or in refusal or simply in boredom, you never stopped sitting there. Some part of you sat there all your life. Jonathan Franzen
Usually I avoided college students, whom I considered brutal, wrapped up in themselves, particularly in their youth, in which they found material for drama or an excuse for their own boredom. I did not care for young people. Francoise Sagan
Charlaine Harris quote: "He managed to convey indifference, contempt, and boredom in..."
He managed to convey indifference, contempt, and boredom in the one word. Charlaine Harris
The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. There where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. Books on the TV set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fall over them. Cornelia Funke
The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pendants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. Ursula K. Le Guin
Arthur Schopenhauer quote: "Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain..."
Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom. Arthur Schopenhauer
Margaret Atwood quote: "How I would like to have them back, those pointless afternoons..."
How I would like to have them back, those pointless afternoons - the boredom, the aimlessness, the unformed possibilities. Margaret Atwood
Iggy Pop quote: "They say that death kills you, But death doesn't kill you...."
They say that death kills you, But death doesn't kill you. Boredom and indifference kill you. Iggy Pop
Christ knew that by bread alone you cannot reanimate man. If there were no spiritual life, no ideal of Beauty, man would pine away, die, go mad, kill himself or give himself to pagan fantasies. And as Christ, the ideal of Beauty in Himself and his Word, he decided it was better to implant the ideal of Beauty in the soul. If it exists in the soul, each would be the brother of everyone else and then, of course, working for each other, all would also be rich. Whereas if you give them bread, they... Fyodor Dostoevsky
