“I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.”
“I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.”
“Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
“Do I contradict myself?Very well then I contradict myself,(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
“When I start a new seminar I tell my students that I will undoubtedly contradict myself, and that I will mean both things. But an acceptance of contradiction is no excuse for fuzzy thinking. We do have to use our minds as far as they will take us, yet acknowledge that they cannot take us all the way.”
“I wish to say what I think and feel today, with the proviso that tomorrow perhaps I shall contradict it all.”
