• Es algo que parece ocurrir cuando escribo, cuando se juntan cosas que no tienen necesariamente mucho sentido lógico y, sin embargo, luchamos por darles sentido de alguna manera. No sé muy bien por qué; supongo que es algo propio de la naturaleza humana.

• In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.

  Andrew Weil

• There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. There’s no room for it.

• Facebook is inherently viral. There are lots of sites that include a contact importer, and for lots of them it doesn't really make sense. For Facebook it fits so well. It wasn't until a few years in that we started building some tools that made it easier to import friends to the site. That was a huge thing that spiked growth.

• Se sintió, como tantas veces con Murphy, salpicada de palabras que morían tan pronto como sonaban; cada palabra borrada, antes de que tuviera tiempo de tener sentido, por la palabra que venía a continuación; de modo que al final no supo lo que se había dicho. Era como escuchar música difícil por primera vez.

• Religion begins in story. Yes, it does, because religion is an attempt to make sense of what is incomprehensible to us, what is inexplicable, what is awe-inspiring, what is frightening, what moves us to great wonder, and so on. That is the religious impulse, and it is part of our psychological makeup -- of everyone's psychological makeup.

  Philip Pullman

• Gogol remembers having to do the same thing when he was younger, when his grandparents died...He remembers, back then, being bored by it, annoyed at having to observe a ritual no one else he knew followed, in honor of people he had seen only a few times in his life...Now, sitting together at the kitchen table at six-thirty every evening, his father's chair empty, this meatless meal is the only thing that seems to make sense.

• The story comes around, pushing at our brains, and soon we are trying to ravel back to the beginning, trying to put families into order and make sense of things. But we start with one person, and soon another and another follows, and still another, until we are lost in the connections.

  Louise Erdrich

• Las historias tienen poder porque transmiten la ilusión de que la vida tiene un propósito y una dirección. Cuando Dios está ausente de la vida de todos, salvo de los más bienaventurados, el escritor, de entre todas las personas, sustituye ese principio ordenador. Las historias tienen sentido cuando tantas cosas a nuestro alrededor carecen de sentido, y quizá lo que las hace más reconfortantes es que, mientras la vida sigue y el dolor continúa, las historias nos hacen el favor de terminar.

  John Hodgman

• Calvin: Look, a dead bird! Hobbes: It must've hit a window. Calvin: Isn't it beautiful? It's so delicate. Sighhh... once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is. You realize that nature is ruthless and our existence is very fragile, temporary, and precious. But to go on with your daily affairs, you can't really think about that... which is probably why everyone takes the world for granted and why we act so thoughtlessly. It's very confusing. I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up. Hobbes: No doubt.

• Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.

• Calvin: ¿No es extraño que la evolución nos diera sentido del humor? Si lo piensas, es extraño que tengamos una respuesta fisiológica al absurdo. Nos reímos de las tonterías. Nos gusta. Nos parece divertido. ¿No crees que es extraño que apreciemos lo absurdo? ¿Por qué nos desarrollamos así? ¿En qué nos beneficia? Hobbes: Supongo que si no pudiéramos reírnos de las cosas que no tienen sentido, no podríamos reaccionar ante muchas cosas de la vida.

• CALVIN: This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery? If the guy exists why doesn't he ever show himself and prove it? And if he doesn't exist what's the meaning of all this? HOBBES: I dunno. Isn't this a religious holiday? CALVIN: Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.

• Podríamos decidir simplemente permanecer absortos en el juego misterioso, informe y libre de la realidad. Esta sería la elección del místico que busca extinguirse en Dios o en el Nirvana, análoga quizá a la tendencia de los artistas a borrarse con alcohol u opiáceos. Pero si valoramos nuestra participación en una realidad compartida en la que tiene sentido tener sentido, tal abnegación negaría un elemento central de nuestra humanidad: la necesidad de hablar y actuar, de compartir nuestra experiencia con los demás.

• I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom.
