"Boredom is that awful state of inaction when the very medicine â€• that is, activity â€• which could solve it, is seen as odious. Archery? It is too cold, and besides, the butts need re-covering; the rats have been at the straw. Music? To hear it is tedious; to compose it, too taxing. And so on. Of all the afflictions, boredom is ultimately the most unmanning. Eventually, it transforms you into a great nothing who does nothing â€• a cousin to sloth and a brother to melancholy."

-- Margaret George
