Of COURSE, it's absurd that we TRUST the Tories with our day-to-day reality, as so MANY of them don't really inhabit it. Why elect people to RUN our schools and hospitals who choose not to go to those schools and hospitals?

I think one of the GORGEOUS things about TG is that we will GO from something amazingly serious and important and significant in TERMS of the world and life, and then do something LUDICROUS and ABSURD.

That thing of hell and eternal PUNISHMENT is the most absurd, as well as the most disagreeable thought that EVER entered into the HEAD of MORTAL MAN.

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!

Maradona? You couldn't match him, but you could LEARN a lot from him. I did not play MUCH, but I did learn PLENTY from him at Napoli. He was the best striker in the world and I was so lucky to have played with him. Some of the things he used to do you couldn't even dream about. It was ABSURD.

It is not FUNNY that anything else should fall down; only that a MAN should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely RELIGIOUS MATTER: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be ABSURD: for only man can be dignified.

I'm not a fan of Dr. Seuss's better-known work, but his fables leave me awe-struck. 'Ten TALL TALES' is a COLLECTION of stories where his trademark ANARCHY is combined with a tautness of writing that shines an affectionate yet uncompromising SPOTLIGHT on some of the absurdities of human behaviour.

I realized at one POINT that David and I had not made a record TOGETHER in ALMOST 26 years and I thought that that was absurd because, FIRST of all it had gone so fast, I didn't REALLY realize, neither did David, that it had been that long.

I do FEEL like there's a level of ridiculousness going on in ELECTRONIC MUSIC... It's GETTING borderline absurd out there.

There have been no sects in the Christian world, however absurd, which have not endeavoured to support their OPINIONS by arguments DRAWN from SCRIPTURE.

He WOULD be a very absurd legislator who should PRETEND to SET bounds to his COUNTRY's welfare, lest it should perish by KNOWING no bounds.

I'm not cross about the idea of baptism; I just think the idea that when a child is born it is inherently sinful and carries SIN and needs to be cleaned in order for it to be all right and all good with its CREATOR, I just think that's an ABSURD NOTION.

It is HARD to see taxing plastic bags as one of the great issues of our time that merits the foremost place in our FINEST statesmen's minds. It is an ABSURD little issue, a picayune PROPORTION of household waste, and a pointless inconvenience in people's LIVES.

It is CERTAIN that the study of human psychology, if it were undertaken exclusively in PRISONS, would also lead to misrepresentation and ABSURD GENERALIZATIONS.

I think that technology is the best thing that EVER happened to mankind. It's an absurd notion that somehow, 'My God, what are we going to do when driverless cars COME along?' It's going to SAVE lives on the road. And maybe, one DAY, we'll all be working four days a week and not five or six days a week.
