Almost always we are bored by people to whom we ourselves are boring.

When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored.

Q: What would you like to tell people?

I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to be spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.

The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.

We are almost always bored by just those whom we must not find boring.

I think a person needs to learn from childhood to find himself alone. It means to not be bored when you’re by yourself, because a person who finds himself bored when alone – as it seems to me – is in danger.

He hated to be alone, but people bored him. Being alone was like being tired, but unable to sleep.

I have no problem with uninteresting or unoriginal people – they may have other, more important attributes, such as warmth, consideration, friendliness, a sense of humor or talents such as being able to make a conversation flow to generate an atmosphere of ease around them, or the ability to make a family function – but I feel almost physically ill in the presence of boring people who consider themselves especially interesting and who blow their own trumpets.

Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring.

If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.

Be boring (it’s the only way to get work done)
