Quotes about absurd
absurd act ideal love none nonsense notion values written
Of all the nonsense written about love, none is more absurd than the notion that ideal love is selfless. To love is to see myself in you and to wish to celebrate myself with you.

When things are difficult, awful, stressful, the thing that always gets you through is a sense of humour. I don't mean - well, maybe I do - laugh at the hangman as he puts the noose around your neck. But an eye, an ear, for the ridiculous, the absurd in life, can get you through a lot. Paul Merton

Look, at the same time that I don't want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye.

absurd allow becomes best bit cannot central conducive cut environment exactly full garner happens intensity intimacy mystery narrative order pivotal remains reveals scene shot single sustained thus using
This scene is done using a single sustained mastershot in order to allow the actors the most conducive environment for intimacy and intensity and in order to best communicate what happens in the film's pivotal scene. It cannot be cut without compromising the central scene of the narrative and thus rendering the mystery of the film incomprehensible. It remains more than a bit absurd to me that this scene would garner an R if shot exactly the same but from just the torso up but becomes an NC-17 because the mastershot reveals full bodies. Robert Lantos

The notion that moving toward renewable energy will kill jobs is an absurdity on its face.

absurd brought came caused dead delirious despair fairly happiness happy heavy keen life money neither nor profit state struggling time wish
You know that he came into his uncle's money a little time ago, and after a first delirious outbreak, he has now relapsed into that dead heavy state of despair which is caused by having everything which one can wish for. How absurd are the ambitions of life when I think that I, who am fairly happy and as keen as a razor edge, should be struggling for that which I can see has brought neither profit nor happiness to him!

absurd complete general government led people played politics public sight situation voted
The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped.

John Major

absurd business characters feature half identify japanese mad point related role scripts sent
About half the scripts sent to me feature characters I just can't identify with, particularly one-dimensional businessmen or, if it's a comedy, some absurd 10-year-old Japanese stereotype, some role related to IT or business... There's no point in getting mad about it; it's just the way things are. Ken Watanabe
