Quotes About Logic

All proofs inevitably lead to propositions which have no proof! All things are known because we want to believe in them.
~ Frank Herbert
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. —FROM "THE SAYINGS OF MUAD'DIB" BY THE PRINCESS IRULAN
~ Frank Herbert
En las profundidades de nuestro inconsciente hay una obsesiva necesidad de un universo lógico y coherente. Pero el universo real se halla siempre un paso más allá de la lógica.
~ Frank Herbert
Thufir, I want you to examine your own emotional involvement in this. The natural human's an animal without logic. Your projections of logic onto all affairs is unnatural, but suffered to continue for its usefulness. You're the embodiment of logic—a Mentat. Yet, your problem solutions are concepts that, in a very real sense, are projected outside yourself, there to be studied and rolled around, examined from all sides.
~ Frank Herbert
Hawat tried to swallow in a dry throat. Her command had been regal, peremptory—uttered in a tone and manner he had found completely irresistible. His body had obeyed her before he could think about it. Nothing could have prevented his response—not logic, not passionate anger…nothing. To do what she had done spoke of a sensitive, intimate knowledge of the person thus commanded, a depth of control he had not dreamed possible.
~ Frank Herbert
es una característica de los humanos que, cuando nos enfrentamos a nuestros problemas personales, las cosas más íntimas son las que mejor resisten el análisis de nuestra lógica. Tendemos a buscar excusas a nuestro alrededor, a acusar a todo y a todos, menos al verdadero problema que nos reconcome por dentro.
~ Frank Herbert
İnsan bilinçalt?n?n derinliklerinde, anlaml? ve mant??a uygun bir evrene duyulan ihtiyaç yatar. Ama gerçek evren, mant???n hep bir ad?m ötesindedir.
~ Frank Herbert
È una caratteristica umana il fatto che i nostri problemi personali, quelli che più s'identificano con noi stessi, sono i più difficili da esaminare con la nostra logica. Abbiamo la tendenza a ricercarne le cause intorno a noi, accusando tutto e tutti, salvo la cosa ben reale e profondamente radicata in noi, che ci consuma.
~ Frank Herbert
En las profundidades de nuestro inconsciente hay una obsesiva necesidad de un universo lógico. Pero el universo real se halla siempre un paso más allá de la lógica.
~ Frank Herbert
Nevoia persistent? de univers logic È™i coerent este profund ancorat? în inconÈ™tientul uman. Dar universul real se afl? întotdeauna cu un pas în faÈ›a logicii.
~ Frank Herbert
Duboko u ljudskoj podsvijesti postoji nezasitna potreba za logi?no osmišljenim svijetom. Ali pravi svijet je uvijek jedan korak s druge strane logike.
~ Frank Herbert
pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
~ Frank Herbert
Qué es consistente? La consistencia no es un aspecto necesario del universo.
~ Frank Herbert
Tief im Unterbewusstsein des Menschen befindet sich der alles durchdringende Wunsch nach einem Universum, das einen logischen Sinn ergibt. Doch das echte Universum liegt immer einen Schritt jenseits der Logik.
~ Frank Herbert
So there was a species of logic to all of this but it kicked the performers out of the nest into chaos.
~ Frank Herbert
Your projections of logic onto all affairs is unnatural, but suffered to continue for its usefulness.
~ Frank Herbert
Un individ n-are sens decât prin relaÈ›ia pe care o întreÈ›ine cu ansamblul societ??ii. Dac? aceast? societate nu este logic organizat? în straturi, nimeni nu-È™i va putea g?si locul, de la cel mai sublim pân? la cel mai umil.
~ Frank Herbert
A razão é a primeira vítima das emoções fortes.
~ Frank Herbert
Când crezi în anumite cuvinte, crezi în argumentele lor ascunse. Când crezi c? un lucru este corect sau greÈ™it, adev?rat sau fals, crezi în ipotezele conÈ›inute în cuvintele care exprim? argumentele. Asemenea ipoteze sunt deseori pline de lacune, îns? ele au preÈ›ioasa calitate de a fi conving?toare.
~ Frank Herbert
Mentat, solve thyself, he thought.
~ Frank Herbert
logic is good for playing pyramid chess but often too slow for needs of survival.
~ Frank Herbert
Anything outside yourself, this you can see and apply your logic to it," she said. "But it's a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, those things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that's really chewing on us.
~ Frank Herbert
And … someday … Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. —from "The Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan
~ Frank Herbert
Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate
~ Frank J. Tipler
