Albert Camus Boredom Quotations

Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.

Something must happen; that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen; even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.

The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.

Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.
