ME & MY LOGIC

Logic is like the sword--those who appeal to it, shall perish by it. * Samuel Butler

Man has such a predilection for systems and abstract deductions that he is ready to distort the truth intentionally, he is ready to deny the evidence of his senses only to justify his logic. * Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky

  • From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other. * Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

  • The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced. * AndrĂ© Gide

  • Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out. * Luigi Pirandello

  • A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. * Rabindranath Tagore

  • The fact that logic cannot satisfy us awakens an almost insatiable hunger for the irrational. * A. N. Wilson
