Quote by Haruki Murakami

People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.

People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not

Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to lose interest in things that are not boring because they are constantly seeking new and exciting experiences. On the other hand, things that are dull and monotonous tend to endure because there is a sense of familiarity that provides some level of comfort or stability. It highlights the paradoxical nature of human behavior, where we crave novelty but also find comfort in the mundane.

The things people say of a man do not alter a man. He is what he is. Public opinion is of no value whatsoever. Even if people employ actual violence, they are not to be violent in turn. That would be to fall to the same low level. After all, even in prison, a man can be quite free. His soul can be free. His personality can be untroubled. He can be at peace. And, above all things, they are not to interfere with other people or judge them in any way. Personality is a very mysterious thing. A man cannot always be estimated by what he does. He may keep the law, and yet be worthless. He may break the law, and yet be fine. He may be bad, without ever doing anything bad. He may commit a sin against society, and yet realise through that sin his true perfection.

Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.
