A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
Roald Dahl
A lot of the fun lies in trying to penetrate the mystery; and this is best done by saying over the lines to yourself again and again, till they pass through the stage of sounding like nonsense, and finally return to a full sense that had at first escaped notice.
Anthony Hecht
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
All philosophies, if you ride them home, are nonsense, but some are greater nonsense than others.
Samuel Butler
Always remember, money isn't everything - but also remember to make a lot of it before talking such fool nonsense.
Earl Wilson
Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.
Karel Capek
Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Bodhidharma
By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense.
Horace Walpole
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.
C. S. Lewis
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
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.
Stephen Jay Gould
Don't talk to me about a man's being able to talk sense; everyone can talk sense. Can he talk nonsense?
William Pitt
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
Robert Frost
Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.
Ron Bloom
Good sense about trivialities is better than nonsense about things that matter.
Max Beerbohm
Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.
Augustus Hare
He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
John McCarthy
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!
Albert Einstein
Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.
Jim Wallis
I begin to grow heartily tired of the etiquette and nonsense so fashionable in this city.
George Mason
