Fear is the enemy of logic.
FRANK SINATRA, quoted in The Way You Wear Your Hat
Belief was immune to logic; it operated by its own laws.
JAMES SIEGEL, Detour
The machine has no feelings, it feels no fear and no hope ... it operates according to the pure logic of probability. For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately than man.
MAX FRISCH, Homo Faber: A Report
Logic is a very beautiful thing. As long as it is not abused.
EUGENE IONESCO, Rhinoceros
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
FRANK HERBERT, Without Me Nothing
Logic is a large drawer, containing some useful instruments, and many more that are superfluous. A wise man will look into it for two purposes, to avail himself of those instruments that are really useful, and to admire the ingenuity with which those that are not so, are assorted and arranged.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
What frightened me was the logic of the world; in it lay the foretaste of something incalculably powerful. Its mechanism was incomprehensible, and I could not possibly remain closeted in that windowless, bone-chilling room. Though outside lay the sea of irrationality, it was far more agreeable to swim in its waters until presently I drowned.
