“My joy is that there is no such world at all, but that the substance of life is in everyone! There is no reason to be troubled because we are absurd, is there? For we really are: we are absurd, frivolous, we have bad habits, we're bored, we don't know how to look around ourselves, we don't know how to understand, we are all like this, all of us, you, and I, and everyone! And you aren't offended by my telling you straight to your faces that you are absurd? There is the basic stuff of life in your, isn't there? You know, I believe it's sometimes even good to be ridiculous. Yes, much better. People forgive each other more readily and become more humble, we can't understand everything at once, we can't begin with perfection! To reach perfection there must first be much we do not understand. And if we understand too quickly we will probably not understand very well. I tell this to you who have been able to understand so much and - do not understand.'p. 577”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“We no longer believe because it is absurd: it is absurd because we must believe.”
Julio Cortázar, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds“In the twentieth century nothing can better cure the anthropocentrism that is the author of all our ills than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or the infinitely small). By reading any text of popular science we quickly regain the sense of the absurd, but this time it is a sentiment that can be held in our hands, born of tangible, demonstrable, almost consoling things. We no longer believe because it is absurd: it is absurd because we must believe.”
Julio Cortázar, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

Aberjhani, Illuminated Corners: Collected Essays and Articles Volume I.“Absurdity is the ecstasy of intellectualism.”
Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile“Some stories have to be written because no one would believe the absurdity of it all.”
Shannon L. Alder“The misery and greatness of this world: it offers no truths, but only objects for love. Absurdity is king, but love saves us from it.”
