About This Quote

The absurd is the act of so far exceeding the boundaries of logic that it is almost impossible to conceive. For example, if you were to consider the act of jumping off of a building so high that you could not possibly survive the jump, you would be describing an absurd act. And, while it might seem impossible, anyone who has ever jumped from a great height knows that it is possible.
