Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Why do we go through all the nonsense with security at our airport? It's not because the Catholic Church is falling apart.
Michael T. Flynn
Image
When people talk of atoms obeying fixed laws, they are either ascribing some kind of intelligence and free will to atoms or they are talking nonsense. There is no obedience unless there is at any rate a potentiality of disobeying.
Samuel Butler
Image
What's important is that twice two is four and all the rest's nonsense.

All voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.
Michele Bachmann
Image
Now in my view, if you were to line up the Presidents in the order of who made the greatest accomplishments, you'd put Lyndon Johnson in that arena with both Roosevelts probably, and [Abraham] Lincoln and so on. But the idea that Lyndon Johnson was operating as a free agent and coming up with these ideas on his own is nonsense.
Bill Ayers

No more harmful nonsense exists than [the] common supposition that deepest insight into great questions about the meaning of life or the structure of reality emerges most readily when a free, undisciplined, and uncluttered (read, rather, ignorant and uneducated) mind soars above mere earthly knowledge and concern.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
There's too many people in the world.
William Shatner
Image
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
J. K. Rowling

No one knows as well as I how much nonsense is printed in books.
Julia Quinn
Image
Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.
Evita Peron
Image
The book of Genesis, a farrago of nonsense so wholly absurd that even Sunday-school scholars have to be threatened with Hell to make them accept it.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Image
Computers are merely ingenious devices to fulfill unimportant functions. The computer revolution is an explosion of nonsense.
Neil Postman
Image
There's huge amounts of nonsense that goes with everything surrounding music and art. All the things you have to do promote yourself - there's huge amounts of nonsense.
Laura Marling
Image
I joined the party because I was a revolutionary, not because of any ideological nonsense.
Hermann Goring
Image
While wading through the whimsies, the puerilities, and unintelligible jargon of this work [Plato's Republic], I laid it down often to ask myself how it could have been that the world should have so long consented to give reputation to such nonsense as this?
Thomas Jefferson
Image
You've always been free. You've always been bright and shining. Everything else is just nonsense.
Robert Adams
Image
How often do we talk just to fill up the quiet space? How often do we waste our breath talking about nonsense?
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
Image
Again, I hear almost everyday from atheists who write off religion as primitive, premodern nonsense. I summon Aquinas, Augustine, Paul [of Tarsus], Teresa of Avila, Joseph Ratzinger, and Edith Stein-in all their intellectual rigor-as allies in the the struggle against this dismissive atheism.
Robert Barron
Image
Quarrel? Nonsense we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
George Eliot
Image
I ignore all the doomsaying nonsense. I'm in a business where the odds of ever earning a living are a zillion to one, so I know itcan be done. I know the impossible can become possible.
Marcia Wallace
Image
I got this bad allergy - I'm allergic to bullshit.
Jim Cornette
Image
If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
