Logic is the theory we as human have yet to solve.

—Monk Frost (17/06/2010)
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

—Albert Einstein
Constant is the rumor we adhere to, as the theory we cling to.

—Monk Frost (14/02/2010)
No, no. You are not thinking. You are only being logical.

—Niels Bohr
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

—Jan L.A. van de Snepscheut
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

—Andre Gide
Evidently logic has escaped us.

—Monk Frost (15/09/2009)
Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.

—Laurence J. Peter
Evidently logic has nothing to do with politic's

—Monk Frost (10/02/2010)
Do not read history. Read biography for it is life without theory.

—Benjamin Disraeli
Grammar and logic free language from being at the mercy of the tone of voice. Grammar protects us against misunderstanding the sound of an uttered name; logic protects us against what we say have double meaning.

—Rosenstock Huessy
To argue against a straw man is to interpret someone's position in an unfairly weak way, and so argue against a position that nobody holds, or is likely to hold.

—Simon Blackburn
The truth is that Tolstoy, with his immense genius, with his colossal faith, with his vast fearlessness and vast knowledge of life, is deficient in one faculty and one faculty alone. He is not a mystic; and therefore he has a tendency to go mad. Men talk of the extravagances and frenzies that have been produced by mysticism; they are a mere drop in the bucket. In the main, and from the beginning of time, mysticism has kept men sane. The thing that has driven them mad was logic. ...The only thing that has kept the race of men from the mad extremes of the convent and the pirate-galley, the night-club and the lethal chamber, has been mysticism — the belief that logic is misleading, and that things are not what they seem.

—G. K. Chesterton (1903)
Don't let anger go inside your heart, if you do, your future acts will include corruption, revenge, and murder. These acts will give you your biggest consequence of all, the life that you desire.

—Unknown
The philosophical quest became obscured in the modern West by the linear succession of schools, each resulting from a violent reaction to its predecessors, each claiming to possess the Truth more or less exclusively, and often insisting upon the sole validity of its method of proceeding. The slavish concern with academic respectability and the fear of anathemization resulted in the increasing alienation of thought from being, of cognition from conduct, and philosophical disputation from the problems of daily life.

—Raghavan Iyer
The Copenhagen Interpretation is sometimes called "model agnosticism" and holds that any grid we use to organize our experience of the world is a model of the world and should not be confused with the world itself. Alfred Korzybski, the semanticist, tried to popularize this outside physics with the slogan, "The map is not the territory." Alan Watts, a talented exegete of Oriental philosophy, restated it more vividly as "The menu is not the meal."

—Robert Anton Wilson
A conjecture can be dressed up as a dead certainty with enough rhetoric and protected against dissent with enough threatening language, but finally it has to meet the only test of science, which is that any theory must fit the facts, and the facts can't be altered to suit the theory.

—Clive James (23/10/2009)
A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

—Wikipedia
Isolated material particles are abstractions, their properties being definable and observable only through their interaction with other systems.

—Niels Bohr (1934)
Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only speak of it in images and parables.

—Werner Heisenberg (1971)
