Caroline Lucas
Typically, in France, someone in my position should keep their mouth shut. I'm an entertainer, operating in the realm of pop, and it's often looked down upon for a pop artist to take a stand, to have convictions or opinions. But I don't think the two are incompatible or mutually exclusive.

Daniel Tammet
Hubris and science are incompatible.
Douglas Preston

Duniya Vijay

I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy - I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible.

Multiple personality disorder and possession are not necessarily mutually incompatible disorders. There's some evidence that you can have both.
I see genres as generating sets of rules or conventions that are only interesting when they are subverted or used to disguise the author's intent. My own way of doing this is to attempt a sort of whimsical alchemy, whereby seemingly incompatible genres are brought into unlikely partnerships.
The problem with Islam is that it's a law, not a religion, and it's incompatible with our values, our rights, and our freedoms.
