Boredom: Enemy of Happiness
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
When people are bored it is primarily with themselves.
- Eric Hoffer
It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment,
which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.
- Manly Hall
Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time;
serenity, that nothing is.
- Thomas Szasz
For those who are bored with life,
the path to happiness almost always comes
through service to the less-fortunate.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
