Text Quotes
A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those worth committing  (Urd Quotes) How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech  (Urd Quotes) In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution  (Urd Quotes) Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd  (Urd Quotes) One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one  (Urd Quotes) The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder  (Urd Quotes) In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence and loathing seizes him  (Urd Quotes) Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide  (Urd Quotes) An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person  (Urd Quotes) Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition  (Urd Quotes) To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light  (Urd Quotes) My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then  (Urd Quotes) Poor human reason, when it trusts in itself, substitutes the strangest absurdities for the highest divine concepts  (Urd Quotes) Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon  (Urd Quotes) I am only 8 years old, I told myself. No little boy of 8 has ever murdered anyone. It’s not possible  (Urd Quotes) The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible  (Urd Quotes) In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods  (Urd Quotes) Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry  (Urd Quotes) While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?  (Urd Quotes) Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot  (Urd Quotes) Mortals are easily tempted to pinch the life out of their neighbour’s buzzing glory, and think that such killing is no murder  (Urd Quotes) I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people  (Urd Quotes) What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear  (Urd Quotes) My fortune somewhat resembled that of a person who should entertain an idea of committing suicide, and, altogether beyond his hopes, meet with the good hap to be murdered  (Urd Quotes) I’m not sure whay I’ve been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories  (Urd Quotes) Small islands, not capable of protecting themselves, are the proper objects for kingdoms to take under their care; but there is something absurd, in supposing a continent to be perpetually governed by an island  (Urd Quotes) This is one of those views which are so absolutely absurd that only very learned men could possibly adopt them  (Urd Quotes) Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied  (Urd Quotes) Without denying the value of scientific endeavor, there is a striking absurdity in committing billions to reach the moon where no people live, while only a fraction of that amount is appropriated to service the densely populated slums  (Urd Quotes) What an absurd thing it is to pass over all the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attention on his infirmities  (Urd Quotes)
