Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
I am convinced that boredom is one of the greatest tortures. If I were to imagine Hell, it would be the place where you were continually bored.
The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.[Le secret d’ennuyer est celui de tout dire.]
If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.
If you want to cure boredom, be curious. If you’re curious, nothing is a chore; it’s automatic – you want to study. Cultivate curiosity, and life becomes an unending study of joy.
I just hope I don’t become so blissful I become boring. I think I’ll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.
Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Boredom is not an end-product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You’ve got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges.
And isn’t not to be bored one of the principal goals of life?[Le principal de la vie: ne pas trop s’embêter?]
