The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, not even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is, its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
— G. K. Chesterton

— Peter F. Drucker
