Life always involves some logic in its manifestations, and logic, as a rule, excludes the versatility of life from its considerations.

There was no arguing with a man when he started saying thing like that — using logic as a weapon.

We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.

It lets me add two ’n’ two and get a pickle.

Logic is an organized way to go wrong with confidence. We should all know by now that a logical course is not always the right one.

I, on the other hand, am a finished product. I absorb electrical energy directly and utilize it with an almost one hundred percent efficiency. I am composed of strong metal, am continuously conscious, and can stand extremes of environment easily. These are facts which, with the self-evident proposition that no being can create another being...

Generally, there is a lot of truth value in stepping back, observing, then logically generalizing the extremes of what you see.

[A]ny being with the supposed capacity to create the logically impossible must himself be logically impossible.

To want to tackle everything rationally is irrational.

Logic issues in tautologies, mathematics in identities, philosophy in definitions; all trivial, but all part of the vital work of clarifying and organising our thought.

Where logic reaches, religion leaves.

On one side of his brain, logic was standing on a chair, waving its arms to get his attention. On the other side, lust and yearning rubbed their hands together in unholy anticipation.

Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it.

I know that if you don’t look for an alternative, Sophos, you certainly won’t find one.

What do you think science is? There’s nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. Which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?

How do you feel right now?” “I hurt like hell.””You’ll feel worse tomorrow.””So?””So, better get a jump on this while you still feel…not as bad.””What kind of logic is that?” I retorted.

As the dew drop slides down the leaf to wet the soil, they call it “fall in love”. Yet, do we know the way up from the way down?

People will always prefer black-and-white over shades of grey, and so there will always be the temptation to hold overly-simplified beliefs and to hold them with excessive confidence

The right thing was confusing, and difficult, and sometimes Jason wondered if it was in fact a nonexistent ideal, like heaven or the American dream. There was no right thing. You did what you did for whatever reasons occurred to you at the time, depending on whichever emotion was running thickest in your blood. Your...

I have previously reduced the whole science of logic to two facts.The first is that our perceptions being every thing for us, we areperfectly, completely, and necessarily sure of whatever we actually feel.The second is that consequently none of our judgments, separatelytaken, can be erroneous: inasmuch as we see one idea in another it isactually...

[She wasn’t] a logically reasoning woman, but God is good, and hearts may count in heaven as high as heads.

He liked to start sentences with okay, so. It was a habit he had picked up from the engineers. He thought it made him sound smarter, thought it made him sound like them, those code jockeys, standing by the coffee machine, talking faster than he could think, talking not so much in sentences as in...

Logically, this kind of atheism did not prove that there was no God…. On the contrary, Southwell was typical in placing the onus probandi on those who affirmed the existence of God and Holyoake regarded himself as an atheist only in his inability to believe what the churches would have him believe. They were content...

The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm.[Pippin, The Two Towers]

Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination. Art is the aesthetic ordering of experience to express meanings in symbolic terms, and the reordering of nature–the qualities of space and time–in new perceptual and material form. Art is an end in itself; its values are intrinsic. Technology is the instrumental ordering of...

i think i know what Philosophy really is , since knowing him is when you think .

I think therefore I am.}, since the cogito, if used rightly, is the awareness of pure consciousness, not directed at any fact or action. In fact the I is not necessary here, since it is never united directly to consciousness. One can even imagine a pure and self-aware consciousness which thinks of itself as impersonal...

You don’t love someone because it’s the logical thing to do.

…but that was the thing about reality. It didn’t need to make sense.

Contrariwise,’ continued Tweedledee, ‘if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.

Dubium sapientiae initium. (Doubt is the origin of wisdom.)

Being and not being are not two different realities, but two different aspects of the same reality.

God cautions us in Isaiah 55:9 that his ways are not ours and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts (undoubtedly one of the grander understatements).God is warning us that he is not logical and that believing him to be logical will lead to all kinds of disappointment.Logic has been defined as ‘the science or...

If you play games with the law of non-contradiction, then every time you open your mouth and say anything, you’re cheating. Every time you make a choice in life you’re cheating.

In short, this or that behavior wasn’t good because scripture said so. Scripture mandated this or that behavior because it was good, and if it was already good before scripture said so, then it was good for some reason inherent to itself, some reason that reason could discover.

There’s no point in saving the world if it means losing the moon.

It is all about numbers. It is all about sequence. It’s the mathematical logic of being alive. If everything kept to its normal progression, we would live with the sadness–cry and then walk–but what really breaks us cleanest are the losses that happen out of order.

She was a logical child, as far as children go. She did not understand how such a nice, kind, good God as the one they preyed to, could condemn the whole earth for sinfulness and flood it, or condemn his only Son to a disgusting death on behalf of everyone. This death did not seem...

It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls

Mathematics is not arithmetic. Though mathematics may have arisen from the practices of counting and measuring it really deals with logical reasoning in which theorems—general and specific statements—can be deduced from the starting assumptions. It is, perhaps, the purest and most rigorous of intellectual activities, and is often thought of as queen of the sciences.

Don’t trust labels – trust logic.

Definitions from Mulla Do-PiazaIntellectual: One who knows no craft.

World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

But…that doesn’t make any sense…!”It does if you’re a goat.

A man of logic is a man of sin.

Logic is the anatomy of thought.

Logic only tells us what’s there; it can’t really address what isn’t. Even the most devoted empiricist must admit that we have no hope of understanding the universe. Some things are unknowable.

I Am In Love With Myself, With My Heart.

If philosophy has to serve some really noble purpose, it must be more observant than critical towards life.
