Rockwell Kent illustration for Herman Melville's Moby Dick. "But to think -- really to think -- surely this means a relinquishing of logic. It means living a new life. It means a permanent sacrifice of the dearest habits, tastes, attachments, without even the assurance hat the sacrifice will bring any compensation."
"Philosophy must have nothing in common with logic; philosophy is an art which aims at breaking the logical continuity of argument and bringing man out on the shoreless sea of imagination, the fantastic tides of everything that is equally possible and impossible."
Lev Shestov (1866-1938)
