We choose mania over boredom every time.
James Gleick
(*1954, American author and historian)
The absence of the will to live is, alas,
not sufficient to make one want to die.
Michel Houellebecq
(*1956, French author, filmmaker, and poet)
Boredom can be a lethal thing on a small island.
Christopher Moore,

The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity.
Ellen Parr
The most costly disease is not cancer or coronaries.
The most costly disease is boredom –
costly for both individual and society.
Life is never boring,
but some people choose to be bored,
boredom is a choice.
Only a boring person is bored.
Life is what you make it…
If one refuses to use one’s imagination…
it will be boring.
