One should not think slightingly of the paradoxical; for the paradox is the source of the thinker’s passion, and the thinker without the paradox is like a lover without a feeling. Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments, p 46

Paradox: a composite of the Greek ‘para’ (against or beyond) and ‘doxa’ (common belief or opinion); a paradox, informally, is a statement that goes against or beyond common sense; ‘this statement is a lie’ is a famous example of a paradox.
