Boredom Quote by Kristina Meister
““Boredom will eventually set in... and one day you'll be standing still on an island, with no idea where to go, because all your bridges will have been burned… The smaller you are, the larger and more terrifying the world. You should not be trying to reduce yourself so thoroughly.””
