Quotations regarding 'Nonsense'

Choose a letter:

Anthony Hopkins, Welsh Actor (1937-  )
Sometimes I have wondered whether life wouldn't be much more amusing if we were all devils, and no nonsense about angels and being good.
William Hurlbut, -
I must say the idea of a United Africa was nonsense.
C. L. R. James, Journalist (1901-1989)
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
Carl Jung, Swiss Psychologist (1875-1961)
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
Jean Kerr, American Playwright (1923-2003)
People say you can't teach writing, but I think that's nonsense.
Tracy Kidder, American Author (1945-  )
This is a formidable enemy. To dismiss it as a bunch of 'cowards' perpetuating 'senseless acts of violence' is complacent nonsense. People willing to kill thousands of innocents while they kill themselves are not cowards. They are deadly vicious warriors and need to be treated as such.
Charles Krauthammer, American Journalist (1950-  )
Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.
Charles Lamb, English Critic (1775-1834)
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

A man can make himself put down what comes, even if it seems nauseating nonsense; tomorrow some of it may not seem wholly nonsense at all.
F. L. Lucas, English Critic
In a society in which equality is a fact, not merely a word, words of racial or sexual assault and humiliation will be nonsense syllables.
Catharine MacKinnon, American Activist (1946-  )
It is all nonsense, to be sure; and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams - not by any means of all dreams - moves, it may be said, in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.
Arthur Machen, Welsh Author (1863-1947)
I begin to grow heartily tired of the etiquette and nonsense so fashionable in this city.
George Mason, American Statesman (1725-1792)
He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
John McCarthy, American Politician
The way I see it is that all the ol' guff about being Irish is a kind of nonsense. I mean, I couldn't be anything else no matter what I tried to be. I couldn't be Chinese or Japanese.
John McGahern, Irish Writer (1934-2006)
It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
Angela Merkel, German Statesman (1954-  )
People talk about innovations and evolutions and that kind of thing; I don't understand about that nonsense. It's like, all instruments are there to use all the time.
Gerry Mulligan, American Musician (1927-1996)
The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.
Vladimir Nabokov, American Novelist (1899-1977)
Common sense, in so far as it exists, is all for the bourgeoisie. Nonsense is the privilege of the aristocracy. The worries of the world are for the common people.
George Jean Nathan, American Editor (1882-1958)
They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.
