“The world is fantastic...it's the ultimate absurd circus and I am shot from a cannon into the energy!”
“When I am battered and oppressed by the world that humanity has made - which is difference from the world that is was given - my primary defense, my consolation, is the absurdity of that world”
“If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.”
“Absurdity and anti—absurdity are the two poles of creative energy.”
“A resounding adventure was that of my cannon, and happy am I to recall it.”
“Part of the appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd.”
