Text Quotes
What sort of philosophers are we, who know absolutely nothing of the origin and destiny of cats?  (Philosophers Quotes) We are not philosophers, we are sovereigns. The rules that govern our behavior are not the rules for other men, and our honor, I think, is a different thing entirely, difficult for anyone but the historians and the gods to judge  (Philosophers Quotes) As long as there have been men and they have lived, they have all felt this tragic ambiguity of their condition, but as long as there have been philosophers and they have thought, most of them have tried to mask it  (Philosophers Quotes) After all the work of the philosophers on his soul and the doctors on his body, what can we really say we know about a man? That he is, when all is said and done, just a passage for liquids and solids, a pipe of flesh  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll... It does not mean that everything in life is relative  (Philosophers Quotes) What you can imagine depends on what you know. Philosophers who know only philosophy consign themselves to a janitorial role in the great enterprises of exploration that are illuminating the mysteries of our lives  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers, for example, often fail to recognize that their remarks about the universe apply also to themselves and their remarks. If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so  (Philosophers Quotes) It is perfectly true, as philosophers say, that life must be understood backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be lived forwards  (Philosophers Quotes) They say philosophers and wise men are indifferent. Wrong. Indifference is a paralysis of the soul, a premature death  (Philosophers Quotes) Legislators, priests, philosophers, writers, ans scientists have striven to show that the subordinate position of woman is willed in heaven and advantageous on earth  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers there are who try to make themselves believe that this life is happy; but they believe it only while they are saying it, and never yet produced conviction in a single mind  (Philosophers Quotes) Though philosophers like to define poetry as irrational fancy, for us it is practical, humorous, reasonable way of being ourselves  (Philosophers Quotes) Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers; read, study and think a great deal of life  (Philosophers Quotes) Contemporary philosophers, even the rationalistic minded ones, have on the whole agreed that no one has intelligibly banished the mystery of fact  (Philosophers Quotes) Meditation is a gift confined to unknown philosophers and cows. Others don’t begin to think till they begin to talk or write  (Philosophers Quotes) Now there are no priests or philosophers left, artists are the most important people in the world  (Philosophers Quotes) Sleep is a state in which a great part of every life is passed. No animal has yet been discovered, whose existence is not varied with intervals of insensibility; and some late philosophers have extended the empire of sleep over the vegetable world  (Philosophers Quotes) Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil  (Philosophers Quotes) And tell him it’s quite true that the best of the philosophers are of no use to their fellows; but that he should blame, not the philosophers, but those who fail to make use of them  (Philosophers Quotes) We need a moral philosophy in which the concept of love, so rarely mentioned now by philosophers, can once again be made central  (Philosophers Quotes) We should be surprised that a matter that generally plays such an important part in the life of man has hitherto been almost entirely disregarded by philosophers, and lies before us as raw and untreated material  (Philosophers Quotes) All that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies; nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive  (Philosophers Quotes) The law of causality, I believe, like much that passes muster among philosophers, is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men  (Philosophers Quotes) Novelists don’t age as quickly as philosophers, who often face professional senility in their late twenties  (Philosophers Quotes) Suppose cats became philosophers, they would see a cat universe and have a cat solution of the problem of the universe, and a cat ruling it. So we see from this that our explanation of the universe is not the whole of the solution  (Philosophers Quotes) Those who have the largest hearts have the soundest understandings; and they are the truest philosophers who can forget themselves  (Philosophers Quotes) When I first collected these authorities, I was desirous that every quotation should be useful to some other end than the illustration of a word; I therefore extracted from philosophers principles of science; from historians remarkable facts; from chymists complete processes; from divines striking exhortations; and from poets beautiful descriptions  (Philosophers Quotes) There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side  (Philosophers Quotes) Scientists have power by virtue of the respect commanded by the discipline... We live with poets and politicians, preachers and philosophers. All have their ways of knowing, and all are valid in their proper domain. The world is too complex and interesting for one way to hold all the answers  (Philosophers Quotes)
