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.
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.
Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.
