One is always willfully absurd... If one does not say silly things with a purpose, then he is merely an idiot Picture Quote #1

When the institutions of money rule the world, it is perhaps inevitable that the interests of money will take precedence over the interests of people. What we are experiencing might best be described as a case of money colonizing life. To accept this absurd distortion of human institutions and purpose should be considered nothing less than an act of collective, suicidal insanity Picture Quote #1

Exercising the right of occasional suppression and slight modification, it is truly absurd to see how plastic a limited number of observations become, in the hands of men with preconceived ideas Picture Quote #1

There are two sorts of truth: trivialities, where opposites are clearly absurd, and profound truths, recognised by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth Picture Quote #1

The thing that keeps you scrambling over the rocks, risking snakes, and swatting at the flies is the view. It is only your enjoyment of and commitment to what you see, not to what you rationally understand, that balances the otherwise absurd investment of labor Picture Quote #1

The problem is that censors create the concept of obscenity. By supposedly trying to protect us they form an absurd concept of what is obscene Picture Quote #1

I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama Picture Quote #1

Man is able to do what he is unable to imagine. His head trails a wake through the galaxy of the absurd Picture Quote #1

With an endless assortment of children and animals living under one roof, there was always some absurd crisis that gave comic relief to my problems Picture Quote #1

It is sweet to surve one country by deeds, and it is not absurd to surve her by words Picture Quote #1

I’m actually trying to make sense of the world. There’s nothing cynical or absurd in what I do Picture Quote #1

The trouble with an alarm clock is that what seems sensible when you set it seems absurd when it goes off Picture Quote #1

Yes, I read. I have that absurd habit. I like beautiful poems, moving poetry, and all the beyond of that poetry. I am extraordinarily sensitive to those poor, marvelous words left in our dark night by a few men I never knew Picture Quote #1

I think people perceive my creatures as absurd because they look different, but at the same time, they are a little bit familiar. I want people to feel a kind of empathy with them. When you think about it, all nature is kind of strange looking.. in fact, I’m a strange a looking creature Picture Quote #1

Through care taken over trends, the desire to be novel and affectation knowledge, we repudiate our art, our instinct, our own way of doing things; it is absurd and stupid Picture Quote #1

If things do not exist as fixed, independent entities, then how can they die? Our notion of death as the sudden expiration of that which was once so real starts to unwind. If things do not exist in their own right and are flickering rather than static, then we can no longer fear their ultimate demise. We may fear their instability, or their emptiness, but the looming threat of death starts to seem absurd. Things are constantly dying, we find. Or rather, they are constantly in flux, arising and passing away with each moment of consciousness Picture Quote #1

America has no north, no south, no east, no west. The sun rises over the hills and sets over the mountains, the compass just points up and down, and we can laugh now at the absurd notion of there being a north and a south. We are one and undivided Picture Quote #1

Nothing can be believed unless it is first understood; and that for any one to preach to others that which either he has not understood nor they have understood is absurd Picture Quote #1

Quality without science and research is absurd. You can’t make inferences that something works when you have 60 percent missing data Picture Quote #1

Those who live in the country get idiotic in time, without noticing it, for a while they think it’s original and good for their health, but life in the country is not original at all, for anyone who wasn’t born in and for the country it shows a lack of taste and is only harmful to their health. The people who go walking in the country walk right into their own funeral in the country and at the very least they lead a grotesque existence which leads them first into idiocy, then into an absurd death Picture Quote #1

It is absurd for a man to kill an elephant. It is not brutal, it is not heroic, and certainly it is not easy; it is just one of those preposterous things that men do like putting a dam across a great river, one tenth of whose volume could engulf the whole of mankind without disturbing the domestic life of a single catfish Picture Quote #1

It is absurd to think that the general public can ever make money out of market forecasts Picture Quote #1
