absurd [Theme] Page 1

Years in big politics have taught me not to be surprised at any, even the most absurd things.

To admit the existence of God is a prejudice, an absurdity, a sign of mental retardation.

There is always contempt behind attempts to equalize people. “One can hope that one day a woman or a homosexual will become the President of the Republic,” said one of the candidates for the post. As if the presidency would make a woman or a homosexual a full-fledged person in his eyes! There is no doubt that a blind albino with Down syndrome with cancer will one day become president.

All this eco-marketing is pure absurdity. I saw an advertisement here for washing powder, which if you use it for a year, you can save about a hundred trees. First of all, I don't understand how to save trees by washing. Probably the same as hitting AIDS with a bike ride. Purely nominally somehow. And, secondly, I remember on a sortie I got lost, I went out of the forest for four hours and I answer you: these trees are up to the ass!

Thought outside of criticism is absurd. As such, it becomes tragic when imposed or confessed.

Kafka's realism transcends the historical moment. Because he did not turn reality into absurdity, but comprehended the absurdity of reality. Because his fantasy is our reality.

Absurdity and tragedy have always been, are and will always be - delusions are dangerous here - and, therefore, there will always be a need for the flushers of the spirit, who will cleanse the world of filth.

Modernism, decadence, absurdity arise whenever the disharmony of the world becomes unbearable. Not a crisis of art, but a breakdown of consciousness and art as its barometer. Madness, despair, hysteria, cynicism are not the destruction of art, but a reflection of the flames of conflagrations and cries of pain. And withdrawal into oneself - as evidence of extreme stress in a world where something has happened. Art as the desire of an unhappy consciousness to escape from the state of unhappiness. Art as a protest. As dissatisfaction with what exists.

We are two worthless actors in the theater of the absurd. We have nothing to fight for, but none of us wants to lose to the other.

Gennady Statyevsky never used so few quotation marks.

The rabbit cannot catch up with the plant. Absurd!

I have been and remain absurdly overrated; I'm not superhuman, I'm quite ordinary. <... > At the same time, I am one of the few people who tell the truth about me.

Quote in English

The universe has a beginning, but has no end - infinity.
Although the stars also have a beginning, they die under their own power - limitation.
History has proven that the wisest man is the greatest fool.
Fish living in the sea do not know about peace on land. She would also perish if she had gained this knowledge.
A man who has exceeded the speed of light is a greater absurdity than a fish that began to live on land.
It can be said that this is God's last warning to those who resist.

Plush teddy bear
Went to war directly to Berlin,
Boldly broke every bridge in front of him.
