The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

The aphorism contrasts two mental states: boredom, framed as a temporary malaise that can be dispelled by active engagement, and curiosity, framed as an enduring appetite. It suggests that the antidote to listlessness is not external entertainment but an inward posture of inquiry—asking questions, noticing details, seeking connections. The second sentence flips the medical metaphor: unlike boredom, curiosity is not a problem to be “cured,” and in fact its persistence is portrayed as desirable. Read this way, the line celebrates intellectual restlessness as a lifelong engine of learning and creativity, even if it can be inconvenient or insatiable.
