  • In the present world, this technological, psychotic, politicised, nonsensical world, you have to believe that the good guys are going to win! That evil will be banished somehow!

    Believe   Winning   Evil  
    "Nowt as queer as folk" by Kitty Empire, www.theguardian.com. October 12, 2003.
  • Blaming TV as an abstract entity is nonsensical. It's our hand on the remote. There's a world out there outside the tube.

  • Sometimes I say things that I can't believe came out of my mouth. Or I won't mean something and it will come out completely nonsensical.

    Believe   Mean   Mouths  
  • Among the few I have indicated, is there no dynamic man of action, the rebel who will help determine the aspect of the collective expression of tomorrow? Ponder this question and know that to make beautiful creations for the sake of their aesthetic value will have no social significance tomorrow, will be nonsensical self-gratification. Every era contains the conditions for providing a rebel.

  • Except I'm aware that as a writer you can't get away with as much writing for children as you can with adults. Children have much more finely tuned senses of justice, morals, and ethics. They are much more Platonic: children are symmetrical, before we begin to fragment them with our own nonsensical ideas and squelch their natural joy in knowledge.

  • A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.

    Funny   Wisdom   Teacher  
    Roald Dahl (2007). “Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator”, p.84, Penguin
  • Both Kant and Fichte thought of traditions of revealed religion as ways of symbolically (that is, with aesthetic emotional power) thinking about our moral condition. Both thought that religion would become more and not less powerful, emotionally and morally, if the claims of scriptures and religious teachings were taken symbolically rather than literally (whatever 'literally' might mean in the case of claims that are either nonsensical or outdated or historically unsupportable if taken as metaphysical or historical assertions).

  • I emphatically do not assert the general 'truth' of this philosophy of punctuational change. Any attempt to support the exclusive validity of such a grandiose notion would border on the nonsensical.

    Stephen Jay Gould (2010). “The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History”, p.185, W. W. Norton & Company
  • Politics is work. Hiphop is music. The idea that hiphop, because it makes the body feel good to move to it and it makes the soul feel good to hear out angry young black men, can be transmuted into changing the world is narcotic but nonsensical. Wherever hiphop is ever "going," we can be sure it will not be in a constructive direction, anymore than fashions in the color of cars. And it shouldn't "concern" us in the least.

  • I think everyone is struggling somewhat with presentation. The Internet is generally well designed, if you look at the most popular websites, so we expect our visuals to be at that level of quality. When you sit in a presentation and you're looking at nonsensical pie charts and the like, your audience does disengage. People across a range of industries, not just science, are struggling with their communication because their output doesn't compete with what people see on a day-to-day basis.

  • The fact that there are so many weak, poor and boring stories and novels written and published in America has been ascribed by our rebels to the horrible squareness of our institutions, the idiocy of power, the debasement of sexual instincts, and the failure of writers to be alienated enough. The poems and novels of these same rebellious spirits, and their theoretical statements, are grimy and gritty and very boring too, besides being nonsensical, and it is evident by now that polymorphous sexuality and vehement declarations of alienation are not going to produce great works of art either.

    Art   America   Poetry  
    Saul Bellow (2015). “There Is Simply Too Much to Think About: Collected Nonfiction”, p.149, Penguin
  • Most of the propositions and questions to be found in philosophical works are not false but nonsensical.

    Ludwig Wittgenstein, David Francis Pears, Brian McGuinness (2001). “Tractatus Logico-philosophicus”, p.22, Psychology Press
  • I’m always intrigued by my nonsensical concern with picking out a bunch of things that look exactly alike the ones that somehow I feel are the best and belong to me. It’s that same crazy urge or superstition, or whatever it is, that makes me open a Bible in a hotel room, hoping for some great happenstance spiritual word of advice. More often than not, I hit a long passage of begats and begots, which contain little inspiration other than the fact that procreation is the highest aim of life.

    Vincent Price (2016). “The Book of Joe: About a Dog and His Man”, p.84, Open Road Media
  • Power is being able to say complete and utter nonsense and have it be believed, powerlessness is where no matter how much cogent evidence and proof one has, to not be believed.

  • Overwhelmingly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us... the atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words.

  • I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

  • Cocaine made me talk forever. The most nonsensical rubbish that you could ever think of.

    "A More Reflective Leap On Elton John's 'Diving Board'". "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, www.npr.org. September 23, 2013.
  • I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.

    Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2232, Manonmani Publishers
  • People who hold important positions in society are commonly labelled "somebodies," and their inverse "nobodies"-both of which are, of course, nonsensical descriptors, for we are all, by necessity, individuals with distinct identities and comparable claims on existence. Such words are nevertheless an apt vehicle for conveying the disparate treatment accorded to different groups. Those without status are all but invisible: they are treated brusquely by others, their complexities trampled upon and their singularities ignored.

  • There's nothing nonsensical about saying that what would evolve if Darwinian selection has its head is something that you don't want to happen. And I could easily imagine trying to go against Darwinism.

    Trying   Want   Imagine  
    "Darwin’s Dangerous Disciple". Interview with Frank Miele, www.skeptic.com. 1995.
  • Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

    "EXCLUSIVE Rick Warren: 'Flat Out Wrong' That Muslims, Christians View God the Same". Interview with Brandon A. Cox and The Christian Post, www.christianpost.com. March 2, 2012.
  • We dream forever unless we awaken. We move from one dream to another, some beautiful, some we're the hero or the heroine, some horrible, some nonsensical, some boring.

    Beautiful   Dream   Hero  
  • A person of good intelligence and of sensitivity cannot exist in this society very long without having some anger about the inequality - and it's not just a bleeding-heart, knee-jerk, liberal kind of a thing - it is just a normal human reaction to a nonsensical set of values where we have cinnamon flavored dental floss and there are people sleeping in the street.

  • But of all Nonsense, Religious Nonsense is the most nonsensical; so enough, & more than enough of it - Only, by the bye, will you, or can you tell me, my dear Cunningham, why a religioso turn of mind has always a tendency to narrow and illiberalise the heart?

    Religious   Heart   Bye  
    Robert Burns, Alan Bold (1993). “Rhymer Rab: an anthology of poems and prose”
  • Seen from the point of view of the composer, the most nonsensical practice is that of casting people in musicals who are unable to sing. No one would cast a dancing part with someone who cannot dance sufficiently to come up to professional standards. The same is true of acting. But when it comes to singing, more often than not it is amateur night. . . . Either musicals should be written for specified performers in the first place, or they should be cast with people who are adequate to its dancing, acting and singing demands.

  • One defining symptom of decadence is a fondness for vast and nonsensical extravagance.

  • The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.

    Vladimir Nabokov (2011). “Pnin”, p.33, Vintage
  • I think we must attack -- wherever we meet it -- the nonsensical idea that mutually exclusive propositions about God can both be true.

    God   Thinking   Ideas  
    C. S. Lewis (2014). “God in the Dock”, p.102, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
  • Poor fellow! I think he is in love with you.' I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl's life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her... I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me.

    George Eliot (2017). “Middlemarch”, p.134, Sheba Blake Publishing
  • Trying to block women from getting access to contraception or defunding Planned Parenthood is completely nonsensical from a policy standpoint.

    "Arizona Effort to Block Contraception Simply Bad Health Policy" by Richard H. Carmona, www.huffingtonpost.com. March 19, 2012.
