“Before I speak, I have something important to say.”
― Groucho Marx

“I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. We are not sent into the world to air our moral prejudices. I never take any notice of what common people say, and I never interfere with what charming people do. If a personality fascinates me, whatever mode of expression that personality selects is absolutely delightful to me.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Personally I always preferred Lipton's.”
― Samuel Beckett, Collected Shorter Plays

“He tapped into the Zen of ignorance, the enlightenment of absurdity.”
― Christopher Moore

“Throughout the whole absurd life I'd lived, a dark wind had been rising toward me from somewhere deep in my future, across years that were still to come...”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger

“Rums, wie die Fliege”
― Wolfgang Borchert

“Like the playwrights of the Absurd, Woolrich recognized that a senseless story best mirrors a senseless existence.”
― Francis M. Nevins Jr., The Fantastic Stories of Cornell Woolrich

“Alligators like on the banks by the creeping moss/ And use the sinews of their prey to do their daily floss.”
― Susan Weiner

“Writing destroys the pleasure of reading for all serious writers, by serious I mean those whose foremost topics are sex and death. Never again can you read without stopping to take note of peculiar adjectives and curious turns of phrase. To write well is to steal well. Perhaps this is why I excel at the craft. I was a thief before taking up the martyrdom of the pen. One takes these notes, scrawled on receipts and napkins, places them in front of him like a child with its toys, and constructs the sublime world of imagination.”
― Tommy Chigurh

“For those whose senses are properly attuned, the most insignificant events—a woman who delays, a dog who sniffs at a wall—result in something so ineffable â€� it's as if a hidden universe of accumulated coincidences and circumstances had ordained it—so that even in the presence of so slight a spectacle as that of two flies alighting on a bald head, one would have the impermeability of a crocodile not to experience a veritable paroxysm of admiration.”
― Oliverio Girondo

“I'm pretty sure planet Earth is just a huge open-air prison, and we're all stuck here because we did something terrible in a prior existence.

I mean, if you were on the outside looking in at this floating muddy ball, what would you think! Personally, I"m lookin' forward to my sentence being over.”
― Christopher J. Stockwell
