Poets do not go mad, but chess players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers, but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination. -- G. K. Chesterton

- John F. Kennedy


I don't know the context of that quote. Did he also manage to disprove Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Bastiat, and Adam Smith-who all disagree with the fundamental premise underlying that statement?

How ironic, coming from a man who ignored the Constitution chronically! laugh (see "The Real Lincoln" by DiLorenzo)

"The issue is always the same: the government or the market.
There is no third solution." Ludwig Von Mises

"The market economy needs no apologists and propagandists.
It can apply to itself the words of Sir Christopher Wren’s
epitaph in St. Paul’s: Si monumentum requiris, circumspice. [If
you seek his monument, look around.] " L. Mises
