"Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable." ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices: Third Series
"Together, we form a necessary paradox; not a senseless contradiction." ― Criss Jami, Healology
"The logic behind patriotism is a mystery. At least a man who believes that his own family or clan is superior to all others is familiar with more than 0.000003% of the people involved." ― Criss Jami, Killosophy
"Not the "be yourself" line. I loathe that line. As if Myself and Tic have met before and gotten along, so all I have to do is make sure Myself is there this time. So illogical." ― Kasie West, The Distance Between Us
"The inconsistencies that haunt our relationships with animals also result from the quirks of human cognition. We like to think of ourselves as the rational species. But research in cognitive psychology and behavioral economics shows that our thinking and behavior are often completely illogical. In one study, for example, groups of people were independently asked how much they would give to prevent waterfowl from being killed in polluted oil ponds. On average, the subjects said they would pay $80 to save 2,000 birds, $78 to save 20,000 birds, and $88 to save 200,000 birds. Sometimes animals act more logically than people do; a recent study found that when picking a new home, the decisions of ant colonies were more rational than those of human house-hunters. What is it about human psychology that makes it so difficult for us to think consistently about animals? The paradoxes that plague our interactions with other species are due to the fact that much of our thinking is a mire of instinct, learning, language, culture, intuition, and our reliance on mental shortcuts." ― Hal Herzog, Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals
"There is a thing called knowledge of the world, which people do not have until they are middle-aged. It is something which cannot be taught to younger people, because it is not logical and does not obey laws that are constant. It has no rules." ― T.H. White, The Once and Future King
"We are raised in a society where we are taught to believe a more logical reason for an illogical happening rather than the illogical reason for something which may be of the unknown, hence, why the logical answer is illogical to the logical person." ― Nicholas A. McGirr, The Growing Dim Project
"Yo, thats illogical I cant have it!" ― Nick Jonas
"He had the air of someone who imagines he can negotiate with gravity." ― Christina McDonald, The Night Olivia Fell
"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
"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
"Most people never cease to exercise their right to disbelieve something that is obvious, or to believe something that is ridiculous." ― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
"Too many people are willing to die for the very thing that's killing them." ― Craig D. Lounsbrough
"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
"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 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
"Modern society must show courage and willingness to replace common superstitions with common sense." ― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words
"People like illogical quotes rather than original thinking.
"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
"If it can't stand without the props of rationalization and justification, you can be assured that it never stood to begin with and it will never stand to end with." ― Craig D. Lounsbrough
"Confusion is not a defense." ― Craig D. Lounsbrough
