Philosophers Quotes

Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all Picture Quote #1

Let us command to know that of your mouth, or of your lips - for divers philosophers hold that the lips is parcel of the mouth Picture Quote #1

It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them Picture Quote #1

The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals - its philosophers, its poets and its artists Picture Quote #1

All of the philosophers I studied were white (with a few Eastern exceptions), and, for that matter, they were all male. Africa, the cradle of civilization, seemed to have no footing in the highest form of human thought Picture Quote #1

Enough of self, that darling luscious theme, over which philosophers in raptures dream; of which with seeming disregard they write then prizing most when most they seem to slight Picture Quote #1

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game Picture Quote #1

These critics organize and practice in my case a sort of obsessive personality cult which philosophers should know how to question and above all, to moderate Picture Quote #1

Philosophers are often like little children, who first scribble random lines on a piece of paper with their pencils, and now ask an adult 'What is that?' Picture Quote #1

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business Picture Quote #1

One can defend common sense against the attacks of philosophers only by solving their puzzles, i.e., by curing them of the temptation to attack common sense Picture Quote #1

Only when one thinks even much more madly than the philosophers can one solve their problems Picture Quote #1

The classifications made by philosophers and psychologists are like trying to classify clouds by their shape Picture Quote #1

The clear and simple words of common usage are always better than those of erudition. The jargon of the philosophers not seldom conceals an absence of thought Picture Quote #1

What I object to Scotch philosophers in general is, that they reason upon man as they would upon a divinity; they pursue truth without caring if it be useful truth Picture Quote #1

When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man Picture Quote #1

A particularly fine head on a man usually means that he is stupid; particularly deep philosophers are usually shallow thinkers; in literature, talents not much above the average are usually regarded by their contemporaries as geniuses Picture Quote #1

Philosophers are people who do violence, but have no army at their disposal, and so subjugate the world by locking it into a system Picture Quote #1

I think philosophers can do things akin to theoretical scientists, in that, having read about empirical data, they too can think of what hypotheses and theories might account for that data. So there’s a continuity between philosophy and science in that way Picture Quote #1

The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things Picture Quote #1

Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this Picture Quote #1

It is not impossible to think that the minds of philosophers sometimes act like those of other mortals, and that, having once been determined by diverse circumstances to adopt certain views, they then look for and naturally find reasons to justify these views Picture Quote #1

The method of exposition which philosophers have adopted leads many to suppose that they are simply inquiries, that they have no interest in the conclusions at which they arrive, and that their primary concern is to follow their premises to their logical conclusions Picture Quote #1

Seneca brings vividly before us a picture of the various scholars assembled in a school of the philosophers Picture Quote #1

Linguistic philosophers continue to argue that probably music is not a language, that is in the philosophical debate. Another point of view is to say that music is a very profound language Picture Quote #1

Philosophers, as things now stand, are all too fond of offering criticism from on high instead of studying and understanding things from within Picture Quote #1

I discovered that the study of past philosophers is of little use unless our own reality enters into it. Our reality alone allows the thinker’s questions to become comprehensible Picture Quote #1

The great philosophers and the great works are standards for the selection of what is essential. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ultimately serves their better understanding Picture Quote #1

Labor is the fabled magician’s wand, the philosophers stone, and the cap of good fortune Picture Quote #1

Shouldn’t I join the ranks of philosophers and merely make unsubstantiated claims about the wonders of human consciousness? Shouldn’t I stop trying to do some science and keep my head down? Indeed not Picture Quote #1
