“I speak four languages, and I've seen some of the most spectacular locations in the world and met hundreds of fascinating people.”

“Boredom, after all, is a form of criticism.”

“Is boredom anything less than the sense of one's faculties slowly dying?”

“Boredom and sexual desire are a potent and explosive combination, and people will certainly risk their lives to exit a grey and boring life.”

“Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom.”
