”Yes, if I were as happy as you, to have such a pleasant pastime, yes in this way one could probably while away the time. All in consequence of idleness. For most pray out of boredom, those others fall in love out of boredom, the third are virtuous, the fourth depraved, and I nothing at all, nothing at all, I do not even bother to take my own life: it is all too tedious.”

- Georg Büchner, Lenz
