"Our dislike of stillness and boredom is at root revealed to be this full-bloom metaphysical terror: 'take away their diversion and you will see them bored to extinction. Then they will feel their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion.'"
- on Pascal's Desideratum, Le Courbusier and the Concept of the Self p.132
