“We're not all the same. A common liberal refrain is that differences between individuals are statistically more significant than those between cultural, ethnic, and racial groups. I don't see why the fact of inter-individual differences would nullify inter-group variance. That's liberal logic for you.” FactsIndividualDifferencesCommonGroupsLogicSignificantRefrainVarianceIndividual Differences Author:Ilana Mercer

“The question of "unreality"is a very important one. Misled by grammar, the great majority of those logicians who have dealt with this question have dealt with it on mistaken lines. They have regarded grammatical form as a surer guide in analysis than, in fact, it is. And they have not known what differences in grammatical form are important.” ImportantFactsRealityFormDifferencesLinesKnownLogicMajorityGuidesAnalysisRealismMistakenGrammarMisledUnreality Book:Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy Source: Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy
“The difference between prose logic and poetic thought is simple. The logician uses words as a builder uses bricks, for the unemotional deadness of his academic prose; and is always coining newer, deader words with a natural preference for Greek formations.

Poetry at its purest is, indeed, a defiance of logic.” LongUsePoetryPurposeNaturalDifferencesSimpleEmotionalPoetCreaturesLogicTreatsDatingGreekProsePoeticAcademicVocabularyPreferenceBricksFormationDefianceBuilderLiving CreaturesUnemotionalTime Poetry Book:Some speculations on literature, history, and religion Source: Some speculations on literature, history, and religion
