I agree totally. It goes with the, "All work and no play" theories, too. It does not say you have to lose your dignity, your pride, your level of intenseness, but it does say that you can appreciate the fun, less intense, side of life!
Good luck enjoying a little nonsense!

Sometimes the most illogical answer is the right one. It just goes along the lines of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
Its a pretty stupid quote that shouldn't be given the time of the day. There are plenty more out there with some worth.
The only reason i answer your question is that i need the points.

In this particular statement, 'nonsense' refers to imagination. The quote as a whole means that the best among us are driven by imagination. I, for one, must agree with that because I am imagination-driven (in addition to being a Christian), and I have found that my imagination is a source of both inspiration and happiness.

I think the quote is incorrect. The best of men, like me, do not like nonsense.
Take my advice.

a great quote to indicate we cannot always be serious and look for the higher meaning in something happening when we should just laugh

Who is wise? One who learns from everyone. Who is powerful? One who governs his passions. Who is rich? One that is content. Who is that? No one.
