"Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out"

- Luigi Pirandello

About this Quote

This quote by Luigi Pirandello speaks to the complexity of the human experience. It suggests that while logic can supply a service to an issue, the human animal is more complex than that. We can comprehend the logical service to a problem, however at the same time, we may not want it to exercise. This speaks with the psychological and irrational side of human nature. We may comprehend the rational solution, however our hearts might be telling us something else. This quote is a reminder that reasoning and feeling are both essential parts of decision making. We should take both into account when making decisions, as they can both have an influence on the outcome.
