Things People Said: Boredom

Things People Said

A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• Dark enough?
• Fear and Love
• You
• Loss
• Love and Death
• If Only, If Only
• Stolen Child
• Quote of the Week: Pale Blue Dot
• Anger
• Frustration

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

Boredom

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

-- Susan Sontag

I do believe that quote was originally attributed to Arthur Schopenhauer and not Susan Sontag.: This comment was left by Unknown at 1:50 pm.
