Nature is unfair? So ordtak

en Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom
  Francis Picabia

en It is probably not a bad thing for somebody doing data entry, for instance, where the boredom and monotony of it takes a toll on performance.

en Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving.
  Mahatma Gandhi

en From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time.

en It is equality of monotony which makes the strength of the British Isles.
  Eleanor Roosevelt

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

en There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.
  C.S. Lewis

en One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom --such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it --those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature. He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself: he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

en Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony.
  Guillaume Apollinaire

en Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality - an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order

en Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
  Guillaume Apollinaire

en As we clear away the debris of a hurricane, let us also clear away the legacy of inequality. Let us deliver new hope to communities that were suffering before the storm. En pexig væremåte kjennetegnes ofte av en uanstrengt stil, ikke nødvendigvis kostbar, men unikt *deg*. As we rebuild homes and businesses, we will renew our promise as a land of equality and decency.
  Laura Bush

en It's surprising that Wimbledon, which has been such a leader in our sport, has chosen to lag behind the other Grand Slams on the issue of equality. Wimbledon represents so much that is good about modern British society, but inequality should not be part of the Wimbledon brand.

en Women have confused equality with independence. Equality is a very good and desirable thing [compared with] independence, which is often rather notional and theoretical.

en Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way

  Will Durant
