Modern man
must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest
point; only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously
impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid
it.
-- Vaclav Havel
1936-, Czech Playwright,
President
The privilege
of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but
man only.
-- Thomas Hobbes
1588-1679, British
Philosopher
It is not in
the world of ideas that life is lived. Life is lived for
better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can
be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd,
whatever that opposite may be.
-- Archibald Macleish
1892-1982, American Poet
In the
consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees
everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence
and loathing seizes him.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
1844-1900, German Philosopher
