It is irrational to rescue a lost soul and to flatter his pain sensitivity into his inner romantic fantasy. (Think about whether the same is true for GZD.) A negative attitude to life may have hidden dangers, and you have to be careful when deciding to take control of your life.

Whether you are blinded by "mystery" (there may be other kinds of charming), or the subjective imagination of the beautification of the tragic situation, do you believe that intuition is really reliable, what you accept is not within your ability, you are not like that Angular.

Irrational Man quotes

  • [first lines]

    Abe: [narrating] Kant said human reason is troubled by questions that it cannot dismiss, but also cannot answer. Okay, so, what are we talking about here? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Murder?

    Jill: I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it from stress? Was it anger? Was he disgusted by what he saw as life's never-ending suffering? Or was he simply bored by the meaninglessness of day-to-day existence? He was so damn interesting. And different. And a good talker. And he could always cloud the issue with words.

    Abe: Where to begin? You know, the existentialists feel nothing happens until you hit absolute rock bottom. Well, let's say that when I went to teach at Braylin College, emotionally, I was at Zabriskie Point. Of course, my reputation, or should I say a reputation, preceded me.

  • Abe Lucas: Jill had been right in her appraisal of me. I was teetering on the brink of some kind of breakdown, unable to deal with my feelings of anger, frustration, futility. They say that drowning is a painless way to go.
