I emphasize this.
I will do anything to avoid boredom.
It is the task of a lifetime.
You can never know enough,
never work enough,
never use the infinitives and participles oddly enough,
never impede the movement harshly enough,
never leave the mind quickly enough.
—Anne Carson, “Introduction.” Short Talks, 1992

I have no sympathy for people who say they’re bored. There is too much to learn in this world. No time to be bored.
