Montesquieu, My Thoughts (Mes Pensées), §47, tr. Henry C. Clark:
BORING. There are quite a few types. Some are so uniform in their conversation that nothing ever comes of it. Others are so lazy that they let everything drop; in vain do you exhaust yourself trying to revive the conversation; you toss out some topics to them, they abandon them all. Others make us go into the void, trahunt per inania.1
1. «Drag us through the emptiness.»
