Text Quotes
The utilitarian behaves sensibly in all that is required for preservation but never takes account of the fact that he must die... His whole life is absorbed in avoiding death, which is inevitable, and therefore he might be thought to be the most irrational of men, if rationality has anything to do with understanding ends or comprehending the human situation as such. He gives way without reserve to his most powerful passion and the wishes it engenders  (Irrational Quotes) It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of devouring the heart and liver of an adversary while yet warm. For the highest spiritual working one must choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force; a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory  (Irrational Quotes) It is a strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively. I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people  (Irrational Quotes) Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions  (Irrational Quotes) The smartest groups, then, are made up of people with diverse perspectives who are able to stay independent of each other. Independence doesn’t imply rationality or impartiality, though. You can be biased and irrational, but as long as you’re independent, you won’t make the group any dumber  (Irrational Quotes) It is even possible that laws which have not their origin in the mind may be irrational, and we can never succeed in formulating them  (Irrational Quotes) You could argue that war is always an irrational act, and yet many states enter into military conflict out of rational calculation or national interest or the stability or longevity of their regime  (Irrational Quotes) Boys always argued as if they knew then had the forces of logic on their side, even when they were being completely irrational  (Irrational Quotes) On the other hand, what is really irrational and what truly cannot be explained is not evil but, contrarily, the good  (Irrational Quotes) A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may... Readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity  (Irrational Quotes) The scars left from the child’s defeat in the fight against irrational authority are to be found at the bottom of every neurosis  (Irrational Quotes) Be free from grief not through insensibility like the irrational animals, nor through want of thought like the foolish, but like a man of virtue by having reason as the consolation of grief  (Irrational Quotes) When irrational terror takes to itself the fiat of moral goodness somebody has to die... No man lives who has not got a panic button, and when it is pressed by the clean white hand of moral duty, a certain murderous train is set in motion  (Irrational Quotes) Since all life is futility, then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all  (Irrational Quotes) I hope I haven’t given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational  (Irrational Quotes) I love the idea of bringing order out of disorder which is what the mystery is about. I like the way in which it affirms the sanity of human life and exorcises irrational guilts  (Irrational Quotes) If naturalism were true then all thoughts whatever would be wholly the result of irrational causes. It cuts its own throat  (Irrational Quotes) Would a watermelon in the midst of a chase sequence not be, in its own organic way, emblematic of our entire misunderstood enterprise? At once totally logical and perfectly irrational?  (Irrational Quotes) Irrational barriers and ancient prejudices fall quickly when the question of survival itself is at stake  (Irrational Quotes) For centuries many of the world’s distinguished philosophers have assaulted Christianity as being irrational, superstitious and absurd  (Irrational Quotes) Building a company is basically taking all the irrational people you know... Putting them in one building and then living with them 12 hrs a day at least  (Irrational Quotes) Resolved, never to suffer the least motions of anger to irrational beings  (Irrational Quotes) Naturally, our own irrational demands strike us as having the force of needs, while other people’s needs strike us as capricious indulgences  (Irrational Quotes) Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims  (Irrational Quotes) What we need to understand is, one, that there are market failures; and two, that there are things like asset bubbles and irrational exuberance. There are periods of booms, bubbles, and manias. These things, if left to themselves, can lead to crashes, to busts, to panics  (Irrational Quotes) It is true that from a behavioral economics perspective we are fallible, easily confused, not that smart, and often irrational. We are more like Homer Simpson than Superman. So from this perspective it is rather depressing. But at the same time there is also a silver lining. There are free lunches!  (Irrational Quotes) At my years, and with my disposition, or rather, constitution, one gets to care less and less for everything except downright goodfeeling. Life is so short, and so ridiculous and irrational (from a certain point of view) that one knows not what to make of it, unless--well, finish the sentence for yourself  (Irrational Quotes) The insane have achieved political respectability while the sane act too good for it all. The irrational celebrate while the rational act bored and above-it-all  (Irrational Quotes) Superstition is the irrational belief that an object or behavior has the power to influence an outcome, when there’s no logical connection between them. Most of us aren’t superstitious - but most of us are a ‘littlestitious.’  (Irrational Quotes) North Koreans are irrational to some extent, but I don’t think they’re totally irrational. I think they watch American cable channels. I think they watch the European cable channels. I think they, their decision makers keep up more than we know. And I think they want us to think they’re a little crazy  (Irrational Quotes)
