Dynamics

We accept every person in the world as that for which he gives himself out, only he must give himself out for something. We can put up with the unpleasant more easily than we can endure the insignificant. (Goethe)

The grand thing about the human mind is that it can turn its own tables and see meaninglessness as ultimate meaning. (John Cage)

The absurd is born of the confrontation between the human call and the unreasonable silence of the world. (Albert Camus)

Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life. (Luigi Pirandello)

Nonsense is good only because common sense is so limited. (George Santayana)

The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject but man only. (Thomas Hobbes)

Heaven knows what seeming nonsense may not tomorrow be demonstrated truth. (Alfred North Whitehead)
