Rudolf Otto:
 
“The irrational is to-day a favourite theme of all who are too lazy to think or too ready to evade the arduous duty of clarifying their ideas and grounding their convictions on a basis of coherent thought. This book, recognizing the profound import of the non-rational for metaphysic, makes a serious attempt to analyse all the more exactly the feeling which remains where the concept fails, and to introduce a terminology which is not any the more loose or indeterminate for having necessarily to make use of symbols.” [1]
 
“Otto explained the numinous as a "non-rational, non-sensory experience or feeling whose primary and immediate object is outside the self".”  [2]

Ted Hughes:
 
“The hypothesis that tragedy appears wherever primal Dionysiac forces, moving in the ecstatic wave of the Goddess mystery religion, encounter head on a secularizing, rational, pragmatic morality is, as I suggested earlier, as good as any other of accounting for the conflict between rational and irrational in Greek tragedy.” [3]
 
George Norlin:
 
“Zagreus, the son of Zeus, is slain by the wicked earth-born Titans and devoured by them. Zeus smites the Titans with the thunderbolt and consumes them with his lightning. From their ashes springs the human race. These ashes contain the essence of the earth-born Titans who rebelled and sinned against Zeus and of the divine Zagreus whom they devoured. Mortals are therefore compounded of the earthly and the heavenly, the carnal and the spiritual, the pure and the impure.” [4]
 
Pete Williams:
 
 “We are today witnessing an attempt at the triumphant return of the great Titans, a return that heralds the victory of the literal over the imaginal, the rational over the aesthetic, arrogance over eros, fundamentalism over tolerance, isolation over relatedness, pessimism over hopefulness, projection over responsibility, demonization over understanding, and technology over psychology. And, what should be of paramount concern to us all is the reality that the most prominent casualty of the Titanic way is Psyche in all her spontaneous, imaginal, erotic splendor.”  [5]
 

Robert Pirzig:
 
 "But to tear down a factory or revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory itself is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There's so much talk about the systems and so little understanding."  [6]
 
How do we access the machinery necessary to de-construct rationality?

“The irrational is to-day a favourite theme of all who are too lazy to think or too ready to evade the arduous duty of clarifying their ideas and grounding their convictions on a basis of coherent thought. This book, recognizing the profound import of the non-rational for metaphysic, makes a serious attempt to analyse all the more exactly the feeling which remains where the concept fails, and to introduce a terminology which is not any the more loose or indeterminate for having necessarily to make use of symbols.”
