Famous Quotes & Sayings

Robin McLeavy

When you take a character seriously, there's more room for comedy because you're not aware of how absurd you are.

Michael Leunig

Einstein was a great advocate of the notion that good ideas look absurd at the beginning. Camus expressed a similar view.

Dennis Hastert

unless the federal government adopts New Orleans as its ward and pays all its bills for the next 20 years--an unlikely to absurd proposition--the place won't be rebuilt.

Kurt Braunohler

I think we get stuck in routines so easily that when an absurd moment in life seems to be there for no reason, it wakes you up out of your everyday pattern. You pull back and look at life a little bit wider because of that one weird thing you weren't expecting.

Kurt Braunohler

I was writing this really long joke about the smell of poop, and I was like, 'What am I doing with my life?' I started to think about why I was a comedian, and then I came up with a reason for existence, which is: inserting absurdity or stupidity into strangers' lives in order to make the world a better place.

Reggie Watts

I like that feeling of discombobulation that comes in creating an absurd world that doesn't make sense. 'Monty Python' does a good job of it; 'Bugs Bunny,' too.

Lauren Willig

Like everyone else, I grew up loving the Anne books, but L.M. Montgomery is so much more. Like Jane Austen, she has an eye for the absurd and a gift for the 'mot juste.'

Stephan Pastis

It seems so absurd to get really mad with a cartoonist over a comic strip. It's sort of like getting in a fight with a circus clown outside your house. It's not going to end well.

Ken Watanabe

About half the scripts sent to me feature characters I just can't identify with, particularly one-dimensional businessmen or, if it's a comedy, some absurd 10-year-old Japanese stereotype, some role related to IT or business... There's no point in getting mad about it; it's just the way things are.

John Wrenn

This spring he gave us two sets of uniforms, both home and away. We're one of only two high schools in the country with Under Armour uniforms. It was totally awesome.

Gordon Higgins

Mr. Armour questioned him as to what it was. He said he wasn't sure but he felt that he could not continue the route.

Anthony Carmona

Humility is the armour that you clothe yourself with throughout your life. We demean each other rather than lift up ourselves.

Jim Duffy

Over time, we believe Under Armour has the opportunity to grow the business in international markets and become a player in the athletic footwear, outdoor lifestyle and sporting goods equipment markets.

Anthony Warlow

I start the show, and the armour goes on, and the showman comes out. When the show is finished, that comes off, and I become soft centred again.

Sloane Stephens

I've been with Under Armour for a while now. I mean, I love Under Armour.

Rory Sabbatini

I couldn't feel my toes or my hands when I played it. I hit a chip clear over the green. I even hit it clean over the back bunker. It was actually funny, walking on the 14th tee today, I looked at Tommy Armour and said, 'Yes, I can actually feel my toes again.' He had the same thought process.

Prince Fielder

You don't have to look like an Under Armour mannequin to be an athlete. A lot of people probably think I'm not athletic or don't even try to work out or whatever, but I do. Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack.
