days

Boredom: the desire for desires.

Normal day let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you love you bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth or bury my face in the pillow or stretch myself taut or raise my hands to the sky and want more than all the world your return.

Boredom is the most horrible of wolves.

Boredom is a sickness of the soul.

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

In the ancient recipe the three antidotes for dullness or boredom are sleep drink and travel. It is rather feeble. From sleep you wake up from drink you become sober and from travel you come home again. And then where are you? No the two sovereign remedies for dullness are love or a crusade.

Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?

As for boredom ... I notice that it leaves me as soon as I am doing something that has got to be done.

The only unhappiness is a life of boredom.

Boredom is simply the lack of imagination.

One appreciates that daily life is really good when one wakes from a horrible dream or when one takes the first outing after a sickness. Why not realize it now?

One of the worst forms of mental suffering is boredom not knowing what to do with oneself and one's life. Even if man had no monetary or any other reward he would be eager to spend his energy in some meaningful way because he could not stand the boredom which inactivity produces.

If something is boring after two minutes try it for four. If still boring try it for eight sixteen thirty-two and so on. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring but very interesting.

Monotony is the awful reward of the careful.

Being bored is an insult to oneself.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war it is excitement.

Peace hath higher tests of manhood Than battle ever knew.
