The life of a
creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most
interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and
a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying
fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way,
when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I
mean -- when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
-- Henry Miller
1891-1980, American Author
The most
terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than
its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex,
alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing
light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations
of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.
-- Malcolm Muggeridge
1903-1990, British
Broadcaster
Against
boredom the gods themselves fight in vain.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher
Only the most
acute and active animals are capable of boredom. -- A theme
for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day
of creation.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher
