Summary

This quote suggests that human beings have a natural inclination towards seeking something beyond logic and reason. Although logic and rationality provide structure and understanding, they may not fully satiate our desire for something different and unconventional. It implies that there exists a deep fascination and craving within us for the irrational or mysterious elements of life, which seem to go beyond the boundaries defined by logic. This hunger for the irrational serves as a reminder that humans are drawn to exploring the unknown and embracing the inexplicable aspects of existence.
