Only the most acute proverb

 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.
  Lewis Cass

 A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

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

 A certain power to endure boredom is essential to a happy life. The lives of most great men have not been exciting except at a few great moments. A generation that cannot endure boredom will be a generation of little men.
  Bertrand Russell

 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

 Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.
  Soren Kierkegaard

 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

 I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.
  Thomas Carlyle

 Work keeps at bay three great evils: boredom, vice, and need
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 Work relieves us from three great evils, boredom, vice, and want.

 Work banishes those three great evils: boredom, vice and poverty.
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean / when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
  Henry Miller

 It keeps the boredom away.
