Irrational Part

Famous quotes containing the words irrational and/or part:

    It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    Let this great maxim be my virtue’s guide—In part she is to blame that has been tried: He comes too near that comes to be denied.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
