Another quote. I do love Fleming. And Bond.

[eleneariel]

Just as, at least in one religion, accidia is the first of the cardinal sins, so boredom, and particularly the incredible circumstance of waking up bored, was the only vice Bond utterly condemned.

                                                                                                From Russia, With Love, Ian Fleming



Do you know, I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've been truly bored? For that, at least, I can thank my imagination. It does give life continual interest!

And then there's the whole theory I have about men like Bond and why they live the way they do, and how if you really get into their heads you find that ordinary life isn't enough for them, and they abhor boredom and sameness above all else and thrive on danger and unpredictability. But that's another story for another day.
