It sounds like the quote that Boswell attributes to Sam Johnson:
“No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in
London all that life can afford.”

I think there's a
bit of a mix-up here. That quote was originally " Who-ever is sick of
London. Is sick of life" which was accredited to Samuel Pepys
circa 1700s. I'm sure what was really meant was, that they
"should be seen and not heard" accredited to The United Front
against Air Pollution.(UFAP) CEO.- A. Smith.
Patron B. Rusk. Membership is open to all, as both of
us are getting a bit lonely . Free ear plugs will be given out to
everyone (except tin-eared Koel supporters).
