Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand-out exception. It is clear and compelling in its logic and flat-out inspiring in its inviting exposition of usable techniques and strategies. If this book is read by enough people, the world will transform.
Hugh Prather

It has been hard to get my head around how Justice Antonin Scalia rationalizes his decisions. His body blow to the Voting Rights Act was a head scratcher, but at least he was calm when he attempted to justify his odd logic.
Henry Rollins
Image
It's a simple exercise a little logic, a little taste, and the will to cooperate.
Raymond Loewy
Image
Belief was immune to logic it operated by its own laws.
James Siegel
Image
It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called 'exact sciences' which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another.
Vasco Ronchi

To write music is to raise a ladder without a wall to lean it against. There is no scaffolding: the building under construction is held in balance only by the miracle of a kind of internal logic, an innate sense of proportion.
Arthur Honegger
Image
Almost all thinking people agree that you should not have probability 1 (or 0) for any event, other than one demonstrable by logic, like 2 x 2 = 4.
Dennis Lindley

If someone doesn’t value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide that proves they should value evidence. If someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument would you invoke to prove they should value logic?
Sam Harris
Image
Only professional mathematicians learn anything from proofs. Other people learn from explanations.
Ralph P. Boas, Jr.
Image
It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right, and there's no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic.
Jeremy Rifkin
Image
The logic of science was infallible, and if the scientists were sometimes mistaken, this was assumed to be only from their mistaking its rules.
Robert M. Pirsig
Image
My heart, independent of my logic, had reserved a place for my tormentor and my solace.
CJ Roberts
Image
Applied properly, it [logic] can overcome any lack of wisdom, which one only gains through age and experience.
Christopher Paolini
Image
When logics die, The secret of the soil grows through the eye, And blood jumps in the sun Above the waste allotments the dawn halts.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Knowledge is a continuous fabric, in which ideas are connected to other ideas. Reason-free zones, in which people can assert arbitrary beliefs safe from ordinary standards of evaluation, can only corrupt this fabric, just as a contradiction can corrupt a system of logic, allowing falsehoods to proliferate through it.
Steven Pinker
Image
What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.
Oscar Wilde
Image
You asked me how to get out of the finite dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly don't use logic when I do it. Logic's the first thing you have to get rid of.
J. D. Salinger
Image
If a lack of empirical foundations is a defect of the theory of logical probability, it is also a defect of deductive logic.
David Stove
Image
Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be and if it were so, it would be but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.
Lewis Carroll
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Image
But, today, the idea of faith returns to me. Faith defies logic and propels us beyond hope because it is not attached to our desires. Faith is the centerpiece of a connected life. It allows us to live by the grace of invisible strands. It is a belief in a wisdom superior to our own. Faith becomes a teacher in the absence of fact.
Terry Tempest Williams
Image
Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.
David Hilbert
Image
Wilhelm Steinitz was the first man to appreciate the inherent logic behind the game of chess.
William Hartston
Image
Far more quickly than reason and logic, irony can penetrate rage and puncture self-pity.
