16.
The world is eaten up by boredom. You can't see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn't even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always on the go.
Bernanos, Georges

17.

Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

20.
He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.

22.
A yawn is a silent shout.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Berryman, John

Kissinger, Henry

29.
All kinds are good except the kind that bores you.
Voltaire

Miller, Henry
