Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.

In "Flight to Arras," Antoine de Saint-Exupéry reflects on the limitations of pure logic. He suggests that an over-reliance on rationality can diminish the human spirit and its vibrancy. Logic, while essential for understanding the world, can lead to a disconnection from deeper emotions and values.
Saint-Exupéry emphasizes the importance of balancing reason with intuition and emotion. The quote serves as a reminder that intellectual pursuits should not overshadow the essence of being human, which thrives on imagination, passion, and spirituality, allowing us to experience life fully.
