Sartre isn't very lyrical... he's smart, but I don't know about smarter. They are different kinds of existentialists. Anyway, Sartre doesn't really spend as much time talking about absurdity as he does talking about choice/in-itself-for-itself be your own God stuff/existential psychoanalysis etc. To draw a difference between absurdity and chaos, you need a good baseline example. I didn't want to dig through Being and Nothingness and his other stuff, when I knew I could easily find a couple quotes in the parabol on Sisyphus.

If you have a good Sartre quote on absurdity, share it with me! I'm always looking for good quotes and new ideas.
