The classic war movies of the post-Vietnam era have generally taken on grand, philosophical themes: the meaninglessness of war, the grinding down of man by the machine - the machine being war itself, represented by someone like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in ‘Full Metal Jacket,’ the sadistic marine who turns his boys into instruments of death Picture Quote #1

A man who experiences no genuine satisfaction in life does not want peace. Men court war to escape meaninglessness and boredom, to be relieved of fear and frustration Picture Quote #1

For myself, as, no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation.

We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom Picture Quote #1

Regarding mutual tolerance: It is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect, and indulge those whom we see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible these may be to us. Hands off Picture Quote #1

We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it.

Characters paralyzed by the meaninglessness of modern life still have to drink water from time to time Picture Quote #1

The future of civilisation depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness that characterizes the thoughts of men today Picture Quote #1

I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I’ve got Picture Quote #1

The grand thing about the human mind is that it can turn its own tables and see meaninglessness as ultimate meaning Picture Quote #1

It’s not even a question of whether the universe is meaningful or meaningless. It’s in what way could it be meaningful, or in what way, if it was meaningful, could that be even more meaningless than normal meaninglessness? Picture Quote #1

One can forget the meaninglessness of his own existence by occupying himself with scientific experiments of dubious import. Countless scientists and scholars spend their lives in the search of truths that are irrelevant to them Picture Quote #1

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption...

The liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom Picture Quote #1

The vitality that can stand the abyss of meaninglessness is aware of a hidden meaning within the destruction of meaning Picture Quote #1

You wear nice clothes, you seek respect, you make a lot of money, but what’s the point? It’s all pointless. Of course, this kind of meaninglessness might suit this crappy nation. But, you see, we still have emotions like joy and happiness, right? They may not mount to much. But they fill up our emptiness. That’s the only explanation I have Picture Quote #1

Works of art feel towards human beings exactly as we do towards ghosts. The transparency of spectres, the diffuseness in space which lets them drift through doors and walls, and their smell of death, disgust us not more than we disgust works of art by our meaninglessness, our diffuseness in time which lets us drift through three score years and ten without a quarter as much significance as a picture establishes instantaneously Picture Quote #1

Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science Picture Quote #1
