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

Andre Gide

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

Michael Jai White

Logic is invincible, because in order to combat logic it is necessary to use logic.

Pierre Boutroux

All logic texts are divided into two parts. In the first part, on deductible logic, the fallacies are explained; in the second part, on inductive logic, they are committed.

Morris Raphael Cohen

Logic is a feeble reed, friend. "Logic" proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.

Robert A. Heinlein

It is difficult to remove by logic an idea not placed there by logic in the first place. By nature, we are emotional creatures. Often we live and react based on feelings, not logic. Feelings are wonderful, but when we become tied to a particular thought or belief we tend to ignore the fact that change might be necessary.

Gordon Livingston

First, in your sermons, use your logic, and then your rhetoric; Rhetoric without logic, is like a tree with leaves and blossoms, but no root; yet more are taken with rhetoric than logic, because they are caught with fine expressions when they understand not reason.

John Selden

The Nazis played the same games against Jews that today’s left plays against 'Eurocentrism,' 'whiteness,' and 'logocentrism.' When you hear a campus radical denounce 'white logic' or 'male logic,' she is standing on the shoulders of a Nazi who denounced 'Jewish logic' and the 'Hebrew disease'...The white man is the Jew of liberal fascism.

Jonah

It is difficult to remove by logic an idea not placed there by logic in the first place.

Gordon Livingston

There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.

Paul Cezanne

Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Logic cannot model causal systems, and paradox is generated when time is ignored [as in logic].

Gregory Bateson

Logic must look after itself. In a certain sense, we cannot make mistakes in logic.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Logic plus logic equals the illogical. Do you know what I mean?

Jason Schwartzman

Logic cannot comprehend love; so much the worse for logic.

N. T. Wright

Among all the liberal arts, the first is logic, and specifically that part of logic which gives initial instruction about words. ... [T]he word "logic" has a broad meaning, and is not restricted exclusively to the science of argumentative reasoning. [It includes] Grammar [which] is "the science of speaking and writing correctly-the starting point of all liberal studies."

John of Salisbury
