boredom

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

A gossip is one who talks to you about others; a bore is one who talks to you about himself; and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself.

Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored.

The concept of boredom entails an inability to use up present moments in a personally fulfilling way.

I'm bored with it all. Before slipping into a coma. He died 9 days later.

With battlements that on their restless fronts Bore stars.

The music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more.

The sightless Milton, with his hair Around his placid temples curled; And Shakespeare at his side,-a freight, If clay could think and mind were weight, For him who bore the world!

Boredom, after all, is a form of criticism.
