Boredom, from Chapter 4 of The Conquest of Happiness (1930) - Bertrand Russell

This quote was added by dlandrith
Boredom as a factor in human behavior has received, in my opinion, far less attention than it deserves. It has been, I believe, one of the great motive powers throughout the historical epoch, and is so at the present day more than ever.
