Paradox
"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it." - Bertrand Russell, The Philosophy of Logical Atomism
"The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof… and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us." - Paul Valery, 1895
"I am pretty sure that we err in treating these sayings [of Jesus] as paradoxes. It would be nearer the truth to say that it is life itself which is paradoxical and that the sayings of Jesus are simply a recognition of that fact." - Thomas Taylor
