“Nothing is intolerable for man as to be in a state of complete tranquility, without passions, without diversion, without efforts. Then he feels his nothingness, his abandonment, his inadequacy, his dependence, his helplessness, his emptiness. At once from the depths of his soul arises boredom, gloom, sadness, grief, vexation, despair.” — Blaise Pascal, Pensées (translation: Honor Levi)
