"Boredom is just the reverse side of..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Life is short and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth.”

“Apart from man, no being wonders at its own experience.”

“Alle Befriedigung, oder was man gemeinhin Glu« ck nennt, ist eigentlich und wesentlich immer nur negativ und durchaus nie positiv. All satisfaction, or what iscommonlycalled happiness, is really and essentially always negative only, and never positive.”

“Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.”

“We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore.”

“There is no purpose in living where there is nothing to do.”

“Develop a childlike fascination with life and people.”

“I think there's something so attractive about mystery.”

“As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.”
