Famous quotes containing the word logic:
“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
