Nausea: --Strong aversion; disgust. Existential-wise, "nausea" follows the realization of a discovered absurdity, i.e. of the absurdity of one's situation -- or, whatever -- at a given time.
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face. --Albert Camus
In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence . . . and loathing seizes him. --Friedrich Nietzsche
Modern man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point; only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid it. --Václav Havel
