Reason flies When following the senses, on clipped wings.

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

Reason also is choice.

Rational thought is interpretation according to a scheme which we cannot escape.

Reason commands us far more imperiously than a master; in disobeying the latter we are made unhappy, in disobeying the former, fools.

Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.

Reason cannot save us, nothing can; but reason can mitigate the cruelty of living.

We distrust our heart too much, and our head not enough.

Reason deceives us more often than does nature.

Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side.
