The way I think of it, economics and ecology occupy two intellectual silos, isolated from each other. Even when they do take each other into consideration, it's not uncommon for ecologists to spout absolute nonsense about economics, and vice versa.

China invaded Tibet. It invaded it. So all this nonsense about them being the same country is absurd. It's called Tibet. If it was part of China, it would be called China, wouldn't it?

I only like non-fiction. After 30 pages of fiction, I think: what nonsense are they trying to write.

There's this idea supposedly that we preachers are supposed to walk about with sandals and ride bicycles. That's nonsense.

Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense.

Claiming that solid rockets are necessary for a heavy-lift launcher is obvious nonsense.

A lot of things the press say are nonsense.

Every year, the World Economic Forum decides on a theme for its meeting of the world's elite in Davos, Switzerland. Usually, it's highfalutin nonsense that no one understands and everyone ignores.

In much of the world, there is a sense of an ultra-powerful CIA manipulating everything that happens, such as running the Arab Spring, running the Pakistani Taliban, etc. That is just nonsense.

One of the reasons Britain escaped the poisonous nonsense of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia is the sheer, absolute, middle-of-the-road, tedious banality of the House of Windsor. I don't want my politics to be passionate.

In life, you don't have a level of confrontation and the nonsense you run into when you're a CEO. CEOs aren't born.

It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.

Oligarch is just a nonsense word. What does it mean? I don't like it.

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.

In the end the recrudescence of racism on the right is conservatism's problem to solve, and it has to be solved independently of whatever liberals and leftists happen to be saying. But the task of solving it still gets a little harder with every nonsense charge or bad-faith accusation.

It would be nonsense to try to suggest that somebody who tried to rouse 2,000 people to their feet - which is what I used to do at conference - doesn't have any element of exhibitionism about them.

I just don't stand for any nonsense.

Either theology is pure nonsense, a subject with no content, or else theology must ultimately become a branch of physics.

Cable news is more titillating to talk about who's up and who's down and all that nonsense as opposed to what's actually done.

Trump has claimed he knows more about ISIS than America's leading generals. Clearly, this is also total nonsense; he doesn't seem to have done the slightest thing to educate himself about ISIS.
