Boredom is the conviction that you can't change ... the shriek of unused capacities.
Saul Bellow
Image
Bored with the same type of misery over and over and over again.
Greg Behrendt
Image
Bored people looked for drama and caused trouble.
Lisa Unger
Image
Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I'm bored there must be something else I want to be doing... boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts.
Hugh Prather
Image
Bored by safety, the lover grows jealous and exacting.
Mason Cooley
Image
Boredom is that awful state of inaction when the very medicine - that is, activity - which could solve it, is seen as odious.
Margaret George
Image
Boredom is what you fight. Constant, ever-present boredom. So you learn to look forward to small things. Sunlight glimpsed through a cloud, an extra piece of pie or candy, good thread to sew your blouse, a ribbon to wear in your hair.
Valerie Wilson Wesley
Image
Boredom comes simply from ignorance and lack of imagination.
Susan Ertz
Image
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Boredom is nothing but the experience of a paralysis of our productive powers.
Erich Fromm
Image
Boredom is your window on the properties of time that one tends to ignore to the likely peril of one's mental equilibrium. It is your window on time's infinity. Once this window opens, don't try to shut it on the contrary, throw it wide open.
Joseph Brodsky
Image
Boredom is the self being stuffed with itself.
Walker Percy
Image
Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away.
Walter Benjamin
Image
I think that we, as writers, get excited by risk. When we are feeling comfortable and familiar, I wouldn't say that we get bored, but the energy in the room gets flat. When we're most excited and when the show is the most fun, it's when we're duking things out.
Damon Lindelof
Image
I always feel like I'm so boring, but I don't get bored with me.
Carolyn Murphy
Image
The problem when someone feels burned out, bored, unchallenged, or stifled by their work is not the job itself but rather the environment and playground rules given to them to do the job at hand.
Tony Hsieh
Image
She is a cat with a burning tail, an ant under a microscope, a fly about to lose its wings to the curious plucking fingers of a third-grader on a rainy day, a game for bored children with no bodies and the whole universe at their feet.
Stephen King
Image
I lose faith in everything else, but rarely in my work. If I start to get bored, I change it to make it more interesting. I try not to take it too seriously, but I also try to never cheat or hurry things along.
Daniel Clowes
Image
I get very bored at practice because I have run curl-flat a million times, or slant-drag. There are so many parts of the game that have become so routine that you can let it bore you, and that's not good.
Carson Palmer
Image
Cultivate Curiosity. If you really want to grow in your lifetime, learn to be as inquisitive as a child. Curious people are never bored, and for them life becomes an unending study of joy.
Tony Robbins
Image
Most of all I don't want to be bored. That's why I'd rather do something that has some sort of ambition, that risks failing, rather than make safer, more comfortable choices.
Steve Coogan
Image
I quit when I was 52, and everybody was telling me that I was too young and I'd be bored - all of those things.
Darrell Royal
Image
In primary school, I was bored witless by Australian history.
