“Since the beginning of time tricksters (the mythological origin of all clowns) have embraced life's paradoxes, creating coherence through confusion — adding disorder to the world in order to expose its lies and speak the truth.”
“The best paradoxes raise questions about what kinds of contradictions can occur — what species of impossibilities are possible.”
“A logical theory may be tested by its capacity for dealing with puzzles, and it is a wholesome plan, in thinking about logic, to stock the mind with as many puzzles as possible, since these serve much the same purpose as is served by experiments in physical science.”
“Paradoxes explain everything. Since they do, they cannot be explained.”
“The mind begins to boggle at unnatural substances as things paradoxical and incomprehensible.”

Una paradoja es una declaración lógicamente autocontradictoria o una declaración que va en contra de las expectativas. Es una declaración que, a pesar de un razonamiento aparentemente válido a partir de premisas verdaderas o aparentemente verdaderas, lleva a una conclusión aparentemente autocontradictoria o lógicamente inaceptable. Una paradoja usualmente involucra elementos contradictorios pero interrelacionados que existen simultáneamente y persisten a lo largo del tiempo. Resultan en "contradicción persistente entre elementos interdependientes" llevando a una "unidad de opuestos" duradera.
