Irrational Man

Irrational Man

And this feeling of freedom creates a sense of dread, a dizzy feeling. Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

-I couldn't remember the reason for living. And when I did, it wasn't convincing.
-That sounds scary.
- It's very scary when you run out of distractions.
-Well, what if it wasn't a distraction? What if you just decided to commit yourself to one person?
-If I met someone now, I'm too far gone to appreciate her .

I enjoyed the whole conversation. It was like sitting at a tense poker table, holding a full house, and chatting innocently…Confident I had the winning hand, but getting a thrill out of the chance I could be beaten with a straight flush or four of a kind.

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.
