Absurd Quotes

Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity does to physicists Picture Quote #1

I think we get stuck in routines so easily that when an absurd moment in life seems to be there for no reason, it wakes you up out of your everyday pattern. You pull back and look at life a little bit wider because of that one weird thing you weren’t expecting Picture Quote #1

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd Picture Quote #1

We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It’s almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to Picture Quote #1

It is an absurd law [Section 295A of the Indian penal code] but also extremely dangerous because it gives fanatics, whether they are Hindus, Catholics or Muslims, a licence to be offended. It also allows people who are in dispute with you to make up false accusations of blasphemy Picture Quote #1

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. All things appear to us in the shape of forms. Even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. Well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. A figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely Picture Quote #1

The film business is absurd. Stars don’t last very long. It’s much more interesting to be a proper actor Picture Quote #1

Anyone who knows how difficult it is to keep a secret among three men - particularly if they are married - knows how absurd is the idea of a worldwide secret conspiracy consciously controlling all mankind by its financial power; in real, clear analysis Picture Quote #1

It is clearly absurd to limit the term ‘education’ to a person’s formal schooling Picture Quote #1

24’ and 20th Century Fox and Sky TV are not responsible for training the U.S. military. It is not our job to do. To me, this is almost as absurd as saying, ‘The Sopranos’ supports the mafia, and by virtue of that, HBO supports the mafia.’ Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I read comics. But when I saw how funny it was, and how wonderfully absurd, I said, You know, I gotta do this Picture Quote #1

Life under the Soviet system was often funny, absurd really, especially for children Picture Quote #1

The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It’s played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ than voted in the general election Picture Quote #1

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider! Picture Quote #1

I like God Give Me the Strength very much. It’s not really a blues and to call it a ballad is absurd. I don’t know, its mid-tempo. Mark (St. John) actually wrote it and I think its very telling of our lives in the 60s. Its just a good song, ya know Picture Quote #1

I think certain people would be moved to be nostalgic about America’s glory days, when the music set the tone for the cultural conversation and popular musicians had this absurd level of authority Picture Quote #1

In America you have the mouse now trying to sit down on the elephant, thinking that he’s going somewhere. And it’s - and it’s absurd Picture Quote #1

Einstein was a great advocate of the notion that good ideas look absurd at the beginning. Camus expressed a similar view Picture Quote #1

When a mere girl, my mother offered me a dollar if I would read the Bible through; . . . . despairing of reconciling many of its absurd statements with even my childish philosophy, . . . I became a sceptic, doubter, and unbeliever, long ere the ‘Good Book’ was ended Picture Quote #1

I have no political ax to grind; I just find it absurd that huge billion-dollar corporations can take over elections.

That, to me, is not a political issue, that’s a life issue Picture Quote #1

The commonest fallacy among women is that simply having children makes them a mother - which is as absurd as believing that having a piano makes one a musician Picture Quote #1

You can’t possibly ask me to go without having some dinner. It’s absurd. I never go without my dinner. No one ever does, except vegetarians and people like that Picture Quote #1

What makes me laugh is, of course, the absurd, the horror - anything that upsets me Picture Quote #1

I’ve had my successes and failures. I know many academics in my field loathe me. I’ve come to loathe them back, as it seems only polite to do so. But at heart it’s absurd; we should band together against the big common enemies Picture Quote #1
