I wouldn't wish now to digress into the philosophy of the relationship between life and logic , but we shall agree that it was a good thing we were not wholly logical. For if we had been , we would have surrendered at the end of April or the beginning of May 1992. The entire logic of the world was against us at that time. And now we have these illogical people who say: we have no food, we have no bullets , but we'll fight and win. what is one to do with them? They are good, courageous people. Alija Izetbegovic

Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination. Gilbert K. Chesterton
My life isn’t theories and formulae. It’s part instinct, part common sense. Logic is as good a word as any, and I’ve absorbed what logic I have from everything and everyone… from my mother, from training as a ballet dancer, from Vogue magazine, from the laws of life and health and nature. Audrey Hepburn

Love it, regardless of logic as you say. It must be regardless of logic. Fyodor Dostoevsky
He had a better mind and a more rigorous temperament than me; he thought logically, and then acted on the conclusion of logical thought. Whereas most of us, I suspect, do the opposite: we make an instinctive decision, then build up an infrastructure of reasoning to justify it. And call the result common sense. Julian Barnes
I have already thought it over,' said Rubashov. 'I reject your proposition. Logically, you may be right. But I have had enough of this kind of logic. I am tired and I don't want to play this game anymore. Be kind enough to have me taken back to my cell. Arthur Koestler

All logical arguments can be defeated by the simple refusal to reason logically Steven Weinberg
You asked me how to get out of the finite dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly don't use logic when I do it. Logic's the first thing you have to get rid of. J. D. Salinger
One must have common sense, nothing is permanent, nothing endures. I have come to the conclusion that this place is run by a madman. A madman, let me tell you, can be very logical. If you are rich and logical and also mad, you can succeed for a very long time in living out your illusion. But in the end....in the end this will break up. Because, you see, it is not reasonable what happens here! That which is not reasonable must always pay the reckoning in the end.~Dr. Barron Agatha Christie
Albert Camus quote: "It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be..."
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end. Albert Camus
