“I wrote in the pursuit of nonsense. What is nonsense? Something that makes no sense, but surely everything makes sense since anything spoken springs from the brain. Within the brain, small though it be, I believe, or I am told, there lies a mechanism association of ideas, so really everything is an association of something which, being so, couldn't be nonsense. It must be 'sense' of some description, but it is in the wrong place.” — Gordon Roddick, 1963
