Science is simply common sense at its best that is rigidly accurate in observation and merciless to fallacy in logic.

People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.

People are craving this great progress in electronics going after computers the Internet etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.

Now I'm not saying I'm fashionable but there are sociological interests that matter to me things that are theoretical political intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian unless the latter too be lovers in disguise.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics nor all logic but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

The attitude of physiological psychology to sensations and feelings considered as psychical elements is naturally the attitude of psychology at large.

Mathematics is as it were a sensuous logic and relates to philosophy as do the arts music and plastic art to poetry.

It's art that pushes against psychological and social expectations that tries to transform decay into something generative that is replicative in a baroque way that isn't about progress and wants to - as Walt Whitman put it - 'contain multitudes.'

Logic is neither an art nor a science but a dodge.

Freedom in art freedom in society this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.

Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.

The web then or the pattern a web at once sensuous and logical an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style that is the foundation of the art of literature.

For art to exist for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.

Opera next to Gothic architecture is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.

Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.

Architecture is involved with the world but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work like any art.
