Sleep Faster, We Need The Pillows: 500 Logical Lapses, Paradoxes and Other Mental Delights

By Gordon Stuart Jackson and Gordon Stuart Jackson

Described by one reader as "Intelligent humor at its best," this anthology of more than 500 quotations of paradoxes, contradictions and "logical lapses" is drawn from a wide range of contemporary and historic sources. Each quotation will simultaneously stretch your thinking and amuse you, as you consider how the entries sound right and wrong at the same time. Included are quotes by ancient philosophers like Epimenides of Crete ("All Cretans are liars"), and by more contemporary figures like comedian Steven Wright ("Uh oh, I've lost a button hole"). Some quotes are intentionally thought provoking, while others are merely inadvertently illogical. But whatever the quote's origins, this collection offers one example after another of inventive, illogical or otherwise deliciously paradoxical thinking."Sleep Faster" is Gordon S. Jackson's sixth anthology of quotations.
