Quotations regarding 'Logic'

Choose a letter: 
This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook.
Larry Elder, American Journalist (1952-  )
An action doesn't have to be wrong just because it is not logical. It doesn't have to be right just because it has its logic.
Lion Feuchtwanger, German Novelist (1884-1958)
The much vaunted male logic isn't logical, because they display prejudices against half the human race that are considered prejudices according to any dictionary definition.
Eva Figes, -
One of the things I particularly enjoyed doing was taking raw sound from locations during the film, like the candy machine, and writing pieces of music to go with them, which is totally unnecessary within the context of the film, because they have their own logic.
Fred Frith, English Composer (1949-  )
The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.
Stephen Gardiner, British Architect (1924-2007)
What's immediately profitable is the only kind of logic that capitalism understands.
Susan George, American Activist (1950-  )
There is no morality by instinct. There is no social salvation in the end without taking thought; without mastery of logic and application of logic to human experience.
Katharine Fullerton Gerould, American Writer
The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.
Andre Gide, French Novelist (1869-1951)
Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.
William E. Gladstone, British Leader (1809-1898)
Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
Remy de Gourmont, French Novelist (1858-1915)
My mother's incredibly giving, almost too giving at times. And, my dad is a real logical person. He's got logic for every situation. They've been married for 24 years, so there was that stability, also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.
Brian Austin Green, American Actor (1973-  )
In an approximate way, the logic of commons has been understood for a long time, perhaps since the discovery of agriculture or the invention of private property in real estate.
Garrett Hardin, American Environmentalist (1915-2003)
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Audrey Hepburn, Belgian Actress (1929-1993)
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
Frank Herbert, American Writer (1920-1986)
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, Russian Journalist (1812-1870)
Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtasked.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, American Writer (1809-1894)
I don't see the logic of rejecting data just because they seem incredible.
Fred Hoyle, English Scientist (1915-2001)
Bobby is really the one who did all the editing on that stuff. And he did all the mixing. I particularly like the record we did with Logic because Scott Harding did a great job mixing it. He's really a killing engineer.
Charlie Hunter, American Musician (1967-  )
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Thomas Huxley, English Scientist (1825-1895)
Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice.
Robert Green Ingersoll, American Lawyer (1833-1899)
