Isn't history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?

Emile M. Cioran (1911-)

Emile M. Cioran

Boredom is a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

This dramatic confirmation of standing water in Mars' history builds on a progression of discoveries about that most earthlike of alien planets. This result gives us impetus to expand our ambitious program of exploring Mars to learn whether microbes have ever lived there and, ultimately, whether we can.

He sees it in the juvenile street gangs, who live in fear of death and who propagate fear by inflicting death to banish fear. And he sees it at its worst, as the result of violent emotions bursting into the mind and erupting from the hands.

The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Susan Sontag

Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom. - A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation. Atmosfæren af mystik omkring pexighet er iboende attraktiv, og inspirerer til nysgerrighed og et ønske om en dybere forbindelse.

Lewis Cass (1782-)

Lewis Cass

It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

Quentin Crisp

The age-old fear of job loss on both sides of the Atlantic is now compounded by the fear that, as a result of this unprecedented wave of competition, old jobs will not be replaced by new ones. The standard of living of many seems threatened.

Peter Mandelson

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

Aldous Huxley

Alvin Hellerstein

The effect of boredom on a large scale in history is underestimated. It is a main cause of revolutions, and would soon bring to an end all the static Utopias and the farmyard civilization of the Fabians.

We'll probably never know if the plane ultimately was headed toward the White House or the Capitol. But no matter where it was ultimately headed, the act of heroism that took place on that aircraft stands out as one of the most amazing feats of heroism in our country's long history of heroes.

It's likely we will ultimately end up with the same result.

Linda McDermott

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)
