“...the single ingredient in American literature that distinguishes it from other literatures of the world is a kind of giddy, illogical hopefulness. It is quite technically sophisticated while remaining ideologically naïve.”
― John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire

“Your realm is an insane place. In Volaria, no-one goes hungry, slaves are no use when they starve. Those freeborn too lazy or lacking in intelligence to turn sufficient profit to feed themselves are made slaves so they can generate wealth for those deserving of freedom, and be fed in return. Here, your people are chained by their freedom, free to starve and beg from the rich. It's disgusting.”
― Anthony Ryan, Tower Lord

“In case you’re short on definitions, here’s one. Insanity: ‘Destroying the very things that sustain us.’ And if we’re so short-sighted so as to make such preposterous choices, then it’s not all that preposterous to believe that shortly our end will be in sight.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If we are merely a chance product of ‘random happenstance’ and nothing more, doesn’t it strike you as a bit odd that we have the ability to contemplate the question of ‘random happenstance’ with such methodical complexity?”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Cleverness is no guarantee of sensible behavior.”
― Joe Abercrombie, Last Argument of Kings

“With a strange logic, [Rod Liddle] asserts that because ME patients deny that they have a psychiatric disorder, this proves they have a psychiatric disorder.

Meanwhile, people are quietly dying of ME. ME sufferer Emily Collingridge died, aged 30; Victoria Webster died at just 18. People don’t die from ‘exercise phobia’. ME is not ‘lethargy’ and ‘aches and pains’, as Liddle claims. Severe ME is lying in a darkened room, alone, in agonising pain, tube-fed, catheterised, too weak to move or speak.”
― Tanya Marlow

“When I find that stubbornness continually overrides common sense regardless of the logic of my argument, it seems that the only effective solution is to tell them to go ahead and stick their finger in the socket. And what I find is that what my argument failed to solve, electricity does quite nicely.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Religion is beyond the realm of logic, but if any priest, pundit or maulvi tries to justify his religion with logic, it sounds absurd and illogical.”
― Tarif Naaz

“Once a mysterious and illogical thing happens in the area, gossips quickly spread and very soon turn into urban legends.”
― Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Gift of the Fox

“Maybe we don’t ever feel that sweetly untainted and wholly majestic kind of love that takes every longing captive because we are hopelessly entangled in the illogical fear that despite all of love’s grand goodness, it might not be good enough to keep us safe.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough, An Intimate Collision: Encounters with Life and Jesus

“If pharaoh’s gods exist, then the one God is indeed the winner, but monotheism evaporates.

If Pharaoh’s gods do not exist, then monotheism is the winner, but the one God with His supposed inconceivable power faces inconceivable ridicule by knowingly choosing to challenge and fight a few priests by proxy (I spare you His cunning battle plan…),

And evaporates…”
― Haroutioun Bochnakian, The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

“The unreal is the illogical. And this age seems to have a capacity for surpassing even the acme of illogicality, of anti-logicality: it is as if the monstrous reality of the war had blotted out the reality of the world. Fantasy has become logical reality, but reality evolves the most a-logical phantasmagoria. An age that is softer and more cowardly than any preceding age suffocates in waves of blood and poison-gas; nations of bank clerks and profiteers hurl themselves upon barbed wire; a well-organized humanitarianism avails to hinder nothing, but calls itself the Red Cross and prepares artificial limbs for the victims; towns starve and coin money out of their own hunger; spectacled school-teachers lead storm-troops; city dwellers live in caves; factory hands and other civilians crawl out on their artificial limbs once more to the making of profits. Amid a blurring of all forms, in a twilight of apathetic uncertainty brooding over a ghostly world, man like a lost child gropes his way by the help of a small frail thread of logic through a dream landscape that he calls reality and that is nothing but a nightmare to him.

The melodramatic revulsion which characterizes this age as insane, the melodramatic enthusiasm which calls it great, are both justified by the swollen incomprehensibility and illogicality of the events that apparently make up its reality. Apparently! For insane or great are terms that can never be applied to an age, but only to an individual destiny. Our individual destinies, however, are as normal as they ever were. Our common destiny is the sum of our single lives, and each of these single lives is developing quite normally, in accordance, as it were, with its private logicality. We feel the totality to be insane, but for each single life we can easily discover logical guiding motives. Are we, then, insane because we have not gone mad?”
― Hermann Broch, The Sleepwalkers

“The darker part of humanity is familiar to my ebony soul. I am familiar with all that is chaotic, dangerous, and irrational in humankind. Securely lodged in my breast is everything that escapes human logic.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Most people never cease to exercise their right to disbelieve something that is obvious, or to believe something that is ridiculous.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“The consequence model, the logical one, the amoral one, the one which refuses any divine intervention, is a problem really for just the (hypothetical) logician. You see, towards God I would rather be grateful for Heaven (which I do not deserve) than angry about Hell (which I do deserve). By this the logician within must choose either atheism or theism, but he cannot possibly through good reason choose anti-theism. For his friend in this case is not at all mathematical law: the law in that 'this equation, this path will consequently direct me to a specific point'; over the alternative and the one he denies, 'God will send me wherever and do it strictly for his own sovereign amusement.' The consequence model, the former, seeks the absence of God, which orders he cannot save one from one's inevitable consequences; hence the angry anti-theist within, 'the logical one', the one who wants to be master of his own fate, can only contradict himself - I do not think it wise to be angry at math.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Applying logic to potentially illogical behaviour is to construct a house on shifting foundations. The structure will inevitably collapse.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Modern society must show courage and willingness to replace common superstitions with common sense.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“Freedom is not permission to be stupid, for the exercise of ‘stupid’ as a ‘right’ is certain to destroy the very freedom that stupidly used to be stupid. And that’s about as stupid as stupid gets.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The core issue in monotheism is righteousness/wickedness.
Righteous/wicked qualifies a person acting or being Good/bad.
In an environment of scarcity, man’s vital strategy for collective survival hinges on being good to his clan and bad to rival clans to acquire or defend resources.
So the creation/elaboration/nurture of both good and bad can only be the consequence of a primary cause: scarcity.
Monotheism “Revealing” such a mental disadvantage in a Creator as to confuse consequences for causes is … revelatory.”
― Haroutioun Bochnakian

“The atheists ask- “If God has created everything, then who has created God?” I politely tell them- the question is illogical and much unscientific because there is no creator of God! Let me explain- for example, if the atheists tell that ‘Z’ has created God, then another question appears- “Who has created ‘Z’?” Then, the atheists may answer ‘Y’. Later, a question will arise- “Who has created ‘Y’?” There will be such infinite illogical questions! So, it is proved that there is no creator of God!”
― Md. Ziaul Haque

“In ordinary society, superstition sells faster than science.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“It is beyond logic where you will see the light.”
― Julieanne O'Connor

“A road that is circular never has an end. And while I don’t drive down any of those kinds of roads, I’ve certainly found myself in a lot of those kinds of arguments.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Fear is something akin to catching a mouse in a bear trap. We mistakenly thought that the thing that we were trying to kill was a whole lot bigger than it actually was.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The world would be a rather boring place if all we had is evidence, if all we had is logic. We need a bit of the illogical to cherish the sweetness of life.”
