“As a child, I was often and intensely bored. This evidently began very early, it has continued my whole life, in gusts…and it has always been noticeable to others. A panic boredom, to the point of distress: like the kind I feel in panel discussions, lectures, parties among strangers, group amusements: wherever boredom can be seen. Might boredom be my form of hysteria?”

– Roland Barthes (via sarahbelfort)
