Preferred interpretation: the observation is on how life is dealt with. Not how Nietzsche experienced boredom. Look around you.
In this forum, Icelander's one of the few struggling with and suffering the issue at its root.

No, more than a favorite it's a quote I wanted to share in light of the previous quotes.
The favorite quotes I come up with wouldn't make sense here - they're too connected to the tradition of academic philosophy. That is, they're for another audience.
Any quotes I post - look for the interpretations with twists and gnashing humor.

Funny how that applies to Stephen Hawking and the public's use of his theories.

Everyone complains about their memory, none about their understanding.

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
- Søren Kierkegaard
Once again:
Against boredom, even the gods struggle in vain.

Quote:
Icelander said: More great quotes.
I can tell much about the person by the quotes they are attracted to. 
...and I chose quotes for the audience.

Doesn't that just beg the age-old question (even though both ends cancel each other out):
Do we make our decisions? That is, who are the "we" that are making the decisions and what does this mean with modern science's and sociology's input?

It's been attributed to Wittgenstein and others:
When philosophers meet they should greet each other by saying

Christopher Marlow was poet more than a philosopher. Truth is however often more present in literature than in philosophy:
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but ignorance.

If you could get anywhere near him, what with that reeking, festering cancer that stank up the mansions he lived in and scared his pets and family out of the room.

Above, mozhual, quoted Nietzsche's famous: "Madness... is the exception in individuals, but the rule in groups".
With that in mind I give you Alice in Wonderland, page 47:
Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. 'What sort of people live about here?'
'In THAT direct,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

Freud? I think he's great and I'd like to study him more closely at some point. Just 'cause he's dead and would be old if he were alive doesn't mean I can't make silly jokes about him.
