"Il n'y a rien de plus horrible, insultant et déprimant que la banalité."
— Anton Chekhov

Simplified Meaning:
When something is banal, it is boring, ordinary, and lacking in originality. People get frustrated and sad when they do the same unexciting thing every day with no change or creativity. For example, imagine eating the same plain meal for breakfast every single day. After a while, you would probably feel unhappy and tired of it. In life, we all crave excitement and new experiences. When everything feels the same and predictable, it can make us feel down and uninspired. To avoid feeling this way, try to add a little variety to your daily routine, such as learning a new hobby, trying different foods, or meeting new people. This brings a sense of adventure and joy into your life, making each day more enjoyable and less monotonous.
