"In everything one thing is impossible: rationality...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“It is doubtful whether anyone who has travelled widely has found anywhere in the world regions more ugly than in the human face.”

“Fathers and sons are much more considerate of one another than mothers and daughters.”

“How much disgruntled heaviness, lameness, dampness, how much beer is there in the German intelligence.”

“Would your reply possibly be this? Well, it all depends on what my tax rate will be on the gain you're saying we're going to make. If the taxes are too high, I would rather leave the money in my savings account, earning a quarter of 1 percent. Only in Grover Norquist's imagination does such a response exist.”

“There is nothing in life so irrational, that good sense and chance may not set it to rights; nothing so rational, that folly and chance may not utterly confound it.”

“Well, one time some attractive woman sat next to Charlie and asked him what he owed his success to, and, unfortunately, she insisted on a one word answer. He had a speech prepared that would have gone on for several hours. But when forced to boil it down to one word, he said that was "rational". You know, he comes equipped for rationality, and he applies it in business. He doesn't always apply it elsewhere, but he applies it in business and that has made him a huge business success.”

“Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.”

“Most illogical Irrational nature of our womanhood, That blushes one way, feels another way, And prays, perhaps another!”

“...one may say anything about the history of the world - anything that might enter the most disordered imagination. The only thing one can't say is that it's rational.”
