It would seem that emotions are the curse, not death-emotions that appear to have developed upon a few freaks as a special curse from Malevolence. All right then. It is our emotions that are amiss. We are freaks, the world is fine, and let us all go have lobotomies to restore us to a natural state. We can leave the library then, go back to the creek lobotomized, and live on its banks as untroubled as any muskrat or reed. You first.

Annie Dillard

Ludwig von Mises

Women do not think with logic and discretion but with emotions of the heart

Cassandra Clare

I am not an emotional type of guy. But I follow my emotions more than my logic.

Bishop Nehru

I think being sensitive gives you powers. You get the logic and the flexibility of emotions.

Denzel Curry

I enjoy logic and logic puzzles. And filmmaking is one fun logic puzzle that you gotta win.

Michael Jai White

It's awfully hard to get into the head of a liberal. Instead of logic and reason, they are drawn to emotions and feelings.

To make music means to express human intelligence by sonic means. This is intelligence in its broadest sense, which includes not only the peregrinations of pure logic but also the "logic" of emotions and intuition.

Iannis Xenakis
