The banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain

"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. 
Only pain is intelectual, only evil interesting.
This is the treason of the artist: the refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain…”

- Ursula K. Le Guin
