Neither boredom nor never being bored is a sign of a boring personality. But for me, the spirit of OP's quote is that if you're intellectually curious, you can almost always find something to explore - the systems around you, the natural environment, getting to know ordinary people, examining and classifying materials, describing your lack of stimulation poetically...And that's a good attitude to cultivate. You'll still probably get bored occasionally; it's a part of life.
