Franz Kafka
Image
I cannot abide useless people.
Joss Whedon
Image
Art must be unaesthetic in the extreme, useless and impossible to justify.

Paul Lynde

Drake

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
Image
Sensible people find nothing useless. [Fr., Il n'est rien d'inutile aux personnes de sens.]
Jean de La Fontaine

We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.
H. G. Wells

Jack Nicholson
Image
Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
Anton Chekhov
Image
For a person whose sole burning ambition is to write - like myself - college is useless beyond the Sophomore year.
William Styron
Image
The only way I can pay back for what fate and society have handed me is to try, in minor totally useless ways, to make an angry sound against injustice.
Martha Gellhorn
Image
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Finance that only talks to itself & deals with each other becomes socially useless
Mark Carney
Image
The economic and social theories used by those who take part in the social struggle ought to be judged not by their objective value but primarily for their effectiveness in arousing emotions. The scientific refutation of them which can be made is useless, however correct it may be objectively.
Vilfredo Pareto
Image
My regret was immediate and permanent and useless.
John Green
Image
There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob.
