• All you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic. Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity, manage to conquer ever obstacle, make impossible possible. Even when winning's illogical, losing is still far from optional.

• Theory has nothing to do with a work of art. Pictures which are interpretable, and which contain a meaning, are bad pictures. A picture presents itself as the Unmanageable, the Illogical, the Meaningless.

• Este poema forma parte de una serie, todos ellos de intención elegíaca, y sujetos a las extrañas fuerzas del duelo que dan rienda suelta a desarrollos ilógicos, a configuraciones imposibles del pensamiento. El poema está construido de no-sequiturs, porque eso es lo que queda tras la muerte. No podemos seguir a los muertos, sean personas o ideas. En su lugar, permanecemos, pero en una situación que, en su ausencia, carece de sentido.

• History is an illogical record. It hinges on nothing. It is a story that changes, and has accidents, and recovers with scars.

• I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.

• Love is illogical. You fall into it like a manhole. Then you're just stuck. You die in love more than you live in love.

• Pessimists are just as illogical as optimists; insomuch as both envisage the aims of mankind as unified, and as having a direct relationship (either of frustration or of fulfilment) to the inevitable flow of terrestrial motivation and events. That is - both schools retain in a vestigial way the primitive concept of a conscious teleology - of a cosmos which gives a damn one way or the other about the especial wants and ultimate welfare of mosquitos, rats, lice, dogs, men, horses, pterodactyls, trees, fungi, dodos, or other forms of biological energy.

  H. P. Lovecraft

• It seems strange that the Mother of the race should be made the Slave of the Fruits of her Womb. It appears peculiar that she should have no privileges except those received through her son. It seems illogical that the God Principle of the Universe, in its infinite wisdom, should endanger the existence of the Race by making the Mother of it the weak, cringing underling of her husband.

• People go to Africa and confirm what they already have in their heads and so they fail to see what is there in front of them. This is what people have come to expect. Its not viewed as a serious continent. Its a place of strange, bizarre and illogical things, where people dont do what common sense demands.

• Theory has nothing to do with a work of art. Pictures which are interpretable, and which contain a meaning, are bad pictures. A picture presents itself as the Unmanageable, the Illogical, the Meaningless. It demonstrates the endless multiplicity of aspects; it takes away our certainty, because it deprives a thing of its meaning and its name. It shows us the thing in all the manifold significance and infinite variety that preclude the emergence of any single meaning and view.

• El guerrero de la luz conoce la importancia de la intuición. En medio de la batalla, no tiene tiempo de pensar en los golpes del enemigo, y por eso utiliza su instinto y obedece a su ángel. en tiempos de paz, descifra las señales que Dios le envía. La gente dice: "Está loco". O: "Vive en un mundo de fantasía". O incluso: "¿Cómo es posible que crea en cosas tan ilógicas?". Pero el guerrero sabe que la intuición es el alfabeto de Dios y sigue escuchando al viento y hablando con las estrellas.

• La transición de la religión a la contemplación científica es un salto violento y peligroso que no debe recomendarse. Para hacer esta transición, el arte debe emplearse más bien para aliviar la mente sobrecargada de emociones. De lo ilógico surge mucho bien. Está tan firmemente arraigada en las pasiones, en el lenguaje, en el arte, en la religión y, en general, en todo lo que da valor a la vida. Sólo los ingenuos pueden creer que la naturaleza del hombre puede transformarse en puramente lógica. Todavía tenemos que aprender que los demás pueden sufrir, y esto nunca se aprende del todo.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• To plead the organic causation of a religious state of mind, then, in refutation of its claim to possess superior spiritual value, is quite illogical and arbitrary, unless one have already worked out in advance some psycho-physical theory connecting spiritual values in general with determinate sorts of physiological change. Otherwise none of our thoughts and feelings, not even our scientific doctrines, not even our dis -beliefs, could retain any value as revelations of the truth, for every one of them without exception flows from the state of their possessor's body at the time.

• Le parecía tan ilógico castigar a un pobre criminal por hacer algo que la civilización le enseñó a hacer para que él pudiera tener algo que la civilización le enseñó a querer. Le parecía tan erróneo como si hubieran colgado la pistola que disparó al hombre.

• Poetry has an indirect way of hinting at things. Poetry is feminine. Prose is masculine. Prose, the very structure of it, is logical; poetry is basically illogical. Prose has to be clear-cut; poetry has to be vague - that's its beauty, its quality. Prose simply says what it says; poetry says many things. Prose is needed in the day-to-day world, in the marketplace. But whenever something of the heart has to be said, prose is always found inadequate - one has to fall back to poetry.

• Debido a que durante milenios hemos planteado al mundo exigencias morales, estéticas, religiosas, lo hemos contemplado con deseo ciego, pasión o miedo, y nos hemos abandonado a los malos hábitos del pensamiento ilógico, este mundo se ha vuelto gradualmente tan maravillosamente abigarrado, espantoso, significativo, lleno de alma, que ha adquirido color - pero nosotros hemos sido los coloristas: es el intelecto humano el que ha hecho aparecer las apariencias y ha transportado a las cosas sus erróneas concepciones básicas.
