    Worst part is I remember reading it in a book, but I don't remember which books.

    I believe "What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational" is an example of what i*m talking about

    It's vaguely similar to a thing that you see in poetry, such as in Swinburne's line, "fleeter of foot than the fleet-foot kid," where you describe something in the exact terms of a just-mentioned quality. I'll bet there's a name for that, too.

    I do think you want paradox, as in "paradoxoically, he also said . . . ."

    Or maybe logically inconsistent/logical inconsistency. Fallaciously?

    Is this a self-contradictory sentence? Or an observation about the sentence by someone?

    TMW you pick up a neglected WIP and notice that you had a character "doffing" his robe to answer the door, when you intended him to be "donning" it. The plot might have taken a whole new turn.

    I went to your site. It's dark in there. At first glance anyway. Lots of good stuff.

    I'd need full context to know what to make of this. I hate riddles I can't understand.

    TMW you think you and two others may have derailed the 'Useless Facts' thread with a discussion about child soldiers in World War II. :p

    The dude has never had sex with a woman who enjoyed it.

    Never.

    Hence it's obvious that women are incapable of enjoying sex, amirite?

    TMW you're reminded how shitty your laptop is but then also remember you purchased pretty much the cheapest one available so who's the real enemy?
