Boredom Quotes - Page 13

• ...boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson in your life--...the lesson of your utter insignificance. It is valuable to you, as well as to those you are to rub shoulders with. 'You are finite,' time tells you in a voice of boredom, 'and whatever you do is, from my point of view, futile.' As music to your ears, this, of course, may not count; yet the sense of futility, of limited significance even of your best, most ardent actions is better than the illusion of their consequence and the attendant self-satisfaction.

  Joseph Brodsky

• Como los zombis no están totalmente muertos, alteran el equilibrio esencial de la naturaleza: aparentemente, ningún animal come zombis, y los zombis no parecen descomponerse, al menos, no hasta el punto de desintegrarse y reintegrarse de nuevo en la tierra, por lo que la cadena alimentaria, o el círculo de la vida, parece terminar o cortocircuitarse con su existencia. Los zombis cumplen las peores potencialidades de los humanos para crear un reino infernal en la tierra de repetición estéril y aburrimiento sin fin.

• He was prepared to die for it, as one of Baudelaire's dandies might have been prepared to kill himself in order to preserve himself in the condition of a work of art, for he wanted to make this experience a masterpiece of experience which absolutely transcended the everyday. And this would annihilate the effects of the cruel drug, boredom, to which he was addicted although, perhaps, the element of boredom which is implicit in an affair so isolated from the real world was its principle appeal for him.

• Boredom has been used as a technique, it is a device. In Zen, boredom is used as a device: you are bored to death, and you are not allowed to escape.
