Quotation of the Day for April 12, 2013"Boredom makes our lives run more smoothly and even more happily. That's if we heed its warning and try to remedy the deleterious constraints of a Santino-like existence. "Boredom should not be abused, exploited, ignored, sneered at, rejected or talked down to as a product of laziness or of an idle, uninventive and boring mind. It's there to help, and its advice should be welcomed and acted upon. That many of us suffer from it should be no cause for embarrassment. Boredom deserves respect for the beneficial experience that it is." - Peter Toohey, professor of Greek and Roman studies at the University of Calgary, and the author of 'Boredom: A Lively History.'
