Quotes About Meaninglessness

Fear is our shared lovelessness, our individual and collective hells. It's a world that seems to press on us from within and without, giving constant false testimony to the meaninglessness of love.
~ Marianne Williamson
Se, all'improvviso, sentissimo che stiamo per morire e ci domandassimo: quale traccia lasceremo del nostro passaggio per questo canile?, la risposta corretta sarebbe: nessuna, non abbiamo fatto niente se non parlare per conto di altri. Che cosa significherebbe, altrimenti, aver tradotto milioni di parole d cui non ne ricordiamo neppure una, perchè nessuna meritava di essere ricordata?
~ Mario Vargas Llosa
I stick my finger into existence and it smells of nothing.

I have never had a goal, I have sought out no result. I think that there cannot be, in general just as well as for ourselves, neither goal nor result. Everything isn't without meaning - the word slightly puts me off- but without necessity.
~ Emil Cioran
The moments follow each other; nothing lends them the illusion of a content or the appearance of a meaning; they pass; their course is not ours; we contemplate that passage, prisoners of a stupid perception. The heart's void confronting time's: two mirrors, reflecting each other's absence, one and the same image of nullity…

You will have to get used to living without results and without hope. You will work for a while, you will be caught, you will confess, and then you will die. Those are the only results you will ever see. There is no possibility that any perceptible change will happen within our lifetime. We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.
~ George Orwell
Kay?ts?zl?k iÅŸe yatamaz. İsteyebilir ya da istemeyebilirsin, ne fark eder! Bir parti tilt oynamak ya da oynamamak; nas?l olsa biri ayg?t?n deliÄŸine bir yirmibeÅŸlik atacak. Her gün ayn? yemeÄŸi yemekle kararl? bir hareket yapt???n? sanabilirsin. Ne var ki reddediÅŸin iÅŸe yaramaz. Yans?zl???n hiçbir anlam ta??maz. Cans?zl???n öfken kadar abes.
~ Georges Perec

Perhaps it was Rudy who kept her sane, with the stupidity of his talk, his lemon-soaked hair, and his cockiness. He seemed to resonate with a kind of confidence that life was still nothing but a joke - an endless succession of soccer goals, trickery, and a constant repertoire of meaningless chatter.
~ Markus Zusak
read so much about the grieving process over the past month. Devoured articles on the Internet, ordered books. All of them were clear that there was no timeline for grief. They were specific about symptoms of grief—the sensations of choking, shortness of breath, feelings of emptiness, endless crying. But nothing warned her that when she wasn't experiencing those symptoms of anguish, all that was left was a sense of meaninglessness. A great, vast gray space of nothingness. Limbo.
~ Mary Alice Monroe
