Kurt VonnegutThis, then, is the ultimate, that is only, consolation: simply that someone shares some of your own feelings and has made of these a work of art which you have the insight, sensitivity, and โ like it or not โ peculiar set of experiences to appreciate. Amazing thing to say, the consolation of horror in art is that it actually intensifies our panic, loudens it on the sounding-board of our horror-hollowed hearts, turns terror up full blast, all the while reaching for that perfect and deafening amplitude at which we may dance to the bizarre music of our own misery.
Thomas LigottiFor a culture that has such a problem with death, we seem to deal with it in a quite bizarre way.

And I would say, 'Oh, I'm from London.'

Viggo MortensenI think part of the disappointing failure of the political process in America today is that it's asking us to forget countries' historic connections to other countries, or to the laws that have been made. They're willfully asking people to forget their country's history, and focus only on the present. It's bizarre.
Cate BlanchettFunny as hell, searingly honest, and urgently real, Sam Pink's Rontel puts to shame most modern fiction.

This book possesses both the nerve of Nelson Algren and the existential comedy of Albert Camus.

Calvin TrillinIt's very bizarre though when you get hired and then the director will say, "I know how this goes."

It's virtually impossible.
Christopher WalkenTwo babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away.

Steven WrightOne nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself.

Phil KeoghanThe bizarre but all too common transformation of the woman artist from a producer in her own right into a subject for representation forms a leitmotif in the history of art. Confounding subject and object, it undermines the speaking position of the individual woman artist by generalizing her. Denied her individuality, she is displaced from being a producer and becomes instead a sign for male creativity.
Whitney ChadwickFor a moment, I was captivated as I studied them side by side. My mother: the perfect picture of guardian excellence and decorum.

Kristen StewartIt's funny what you really see when you're the subject of the completely bizarre gossip magazine industry. It's just like, 'WHAT?!?'

Robert PattinsonI like comic conventions. I genuinely like comic conventions. I like wandering around from table to table; I like wandering up and down Artist's Alley and saying "Hello" to people. I like hanging out on the DC booth. I can't do that anymore. I'd like to, but I can't. I physically can't. If I stop moving, somebody will come up to me with something to sign, and if I sign it, somehow it's like ants sensing sugar. There will be fifty or a hundred people around me and then fire marshals will come and then I'm trapped in a crowd. It's bizarre.

Matthew RhysThe next four years, though, you still have to abide by the oversight process that is there to prevent this kind of bizarre sort of cult-like atmosphere that falls along. I mean, I accept that kind of veil of secrecy around Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, but I don't accept that around our government.
Jon StewartIf there were even one spark of evidence from antiquity that Jesus even may have gotten married, then as a historian, I would have to weigh this evidence against the total absence of such information in either Scripture or the early church traditions. But there is no such spark-not a scintilla of evidence-anywhere in historical sources. Even where one might expect to find such claims in the bizarre, second-century, apocryphal gospels...there is no reference that Jesus ever got married.
