"Rather than be constantly told what we want and pressurised to go at after it, I think we would benefit greatly from spells of restless boredom, in which desire can crystallise."
I have this quote in an old notebook of recipes, attributed to one "Sean O'Hagan, author of Going Sane". I have vague memories of copying it out of a magazine about 20 years ago, maybe an issue of The Listener?
