Pointless. . . . Like giving caviar to an elephant.
William Faulkner
Image
The pointless ferocities of intellectual life shock businessmen, who kill only to eat.
Mason Cooley
Image
it is in the oral traditions of the villages that the arts of India are really alive. The brief Western immortality of museums is pointless to people who have seen eternity in their earth.
Santha Rama Rau
Image
Worry is just about the worst form of mental activity there is-next to hate, which is deeply self destructive. Worry is pointless. It is wasted mental energy. It also creates bio-chemical reactions which harm the body, producing everything from indigestion to coronary arrest, and a multitude of things in between.
Neale Donald Walsch
Image
If you're automatically sure that you know what reality is and who and what is really important - if you want to operate on your default-setting - then you, like me, will not consider possibilities that aren't pointless and annoying.
David Foster Wallace
Image
Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never. It's pointless and stupid and there's only suffering and pain and people who want to hurt you. You can't love nothing or no one cuz it'll all be taken away or ruined and you'll be left alone and constantly having to fight, constantly having to run just to stay alive.
Patrick Ness
Image
Agents are nasty scum. They're evil and divisive and pointless. They only survive because the rest of the sport is so corrupt and because leading football club people employ their sons in the job.
Simon Jordan
Image
The shoddy work of despair, the pointless work of pride, equally betray Creation. They are wastes of life.
Wendell Berry
Image
Slowly, I've come to realize That I cannot heal my past And that fearing the unavoidable future Is pointless
Ayumi Hamasaki

Any goal without salvation as its ultimate end is as pointless as trying to live forever on this earth.
Tarek Saab
Image
It's pointless to have a nice clean desk, because it means you're not doing anything.

Image
Regret is such a pointless emotion.
Magnus
Image
The inability of some critics to connect the dots doesn't make pointillism pointless
Georges Seurat
Image
But you must stop playing among his ghosts -- it's stupid and dangerous and completely pointless. He's trying to lay them to rest here, not stir them up, and you seem eager to drag out all the sad old bones of his history and make them dance again. It's not nice, and it's not fair.
Patricia A. McKillip
Image
All the choices we make in our life are pointless. There’s no escaping the inevitable.
John Cusack
Image
Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Much of the discussion about socialism and individualism is entirely pointless, because of failure to agree on terminology.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
You imagine a reader and try to keep the reader interested. That's storytelling. You also hope to reward the reader with a sense of a completed design, that somebody is in charge, and that while life is pointless, the book isn't pointless. The author knows where he is going. That's form.
John Updike
Image
It would be, for me, mere pointless pleasure, an illusion of order for this one frail, foolish, flicker-flash in the long dull fall of eternity.
John Gardner
Image
My life feels, week to week, incomplete to the level of being pointless if I am not in preparation for the next play or, ideally, into it.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Regret is such a pointless emotion, don't you agree?
Cassandra Clare
Image
Everything useful in mathematics has been devised for a purpose. Even if you don't know it, the guy who did it first, he knew what he was doing. Banach didn't just develop Banach spaces for the sake of it. He wanted to put many spaces under one heading. Without knowing the examples, the whole thing is pointless.
Michael Atiyah
