Famous quotes containing the words logic and/or philosophy:

    “You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “A life-worshipper’s philosophy is comprehensive.... He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death ... and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
