Text Quotes
... I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire... I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools  (Philosophers Quotes) Comedians and jazz musicians have been more comforting and enlightening to me than preachers or politicians or philosophers or poets or painters or novelists of my time. Historians in the future, in my opinion, will congratulate us on very little other than our clowning and our jazz  (Philosophers Quotes) People can be teachers and idiots; they can be philosophers and idiots; they can be politicians and idiots... in fact I think they have to be... a genius can be an idiot. The world is largely run for and by idiots; it is no great handicap in life and in certain areas is actually a distinct advantage and even a prerequisite for advancement  (Philosophers Quotes) Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles, and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved  (Philosophers Quotes) The great masses of people do not consist of philosophers; precisely for the masses, faith is often the sole foundation of a moral attitude. The various substitutes have not proved so successful from the standpoint of results that they could be regarded as a useful replacement for previous religious creeds. But if religious doctrine and faith are really to embrace the broad masses, the unconditional authority of the content of this faith is the foundation of all efficacy  (Philosophers Quotes) Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it’s a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers  (Philosophers Quotes) It will sometimes strike a scientific man that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system  (Philosophers Quotes) There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands  (Philosophers Quotes) It has generally been assumed that of two opposing systems of philosophy, e. G., realism and idealism, one only can be true and one must be false; and so philosophers have been hopelessly divided on the question, which is the true one  (Philosophers Quotes) The quest for our origin is the sweet fruit’s juice which maintains satisfaction in the minds of the philosophers  (Philosophers Quotes) We would never travel on the sea if we had no hope of telling about it later... We lose our lives with joy provided people talk about it... Even philosophers wish for admirers  (Philosophers Quotes) Because no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools. Be different!  (Philosophers Quotes) Unless we consent to lack the common things which men call success, we shall hardly become heroes or saints, philosophers or poets  (Philosophers Quotes) It is as absurd to expect members of philosophy departments to be philosophers as it is to expect members of art departments to be artists  (Philosophers Quotes) Einstein’s results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophy is not a doctrine but a way of life, so the philosophers, for all the differences in their teachings, have more in common with one another than with anyone else, even their own followers  (Philosophers Quotes) The idea that some of the members of the smooth, bland variety of second generation of linguistic philosophers undergo perplexity, let alone intellectual cramp, has an element of high comedy  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers get paid for posing interesting questions; scientists for answering them. Thus, one cannot live without the other  (Philosophers Quotes) I profess both to learn and to teach anatomy, not from books but from dissections; not from positions of philosophers but from the fabric of nature  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers make imaginary laws for imaginary commonwealths, and their discourses are as the stars, which give little light because they are so high  (Philosophers Quotes) What sort of philosophers are we, who know absolutely nothing about the origin and destiny of cats?  (Philosophers Quotes) The highest philosophers, in explaining the mystery of this world, are obliged to call in the aid of another  (Philosophers Quotes) How do our philosophers act? Do they not inscribe their signatures to the very essays they write on the propriety of despising glory  (Philosophers Quotes) A republic of philosophers, such as speculative men are fond of forming in imagination, but which was never known  (Philosophers Quotes) The theories of the major philosophers of the 18th century secular enlightenment were biblical and theological in spite of themselves  (Philosophers Quotes) Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong  (Philosophers Quotes) Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher’s salary  (Philosophers Quotes) Maybe those nihilist philosophers are right; maybe this is all we can expect of the universe, a relentless crushing of life and spirit, because the equilibrium state of the cosmos is death  (Philosophers Quotes) The traditional disputes of philosophers are, for the most part, as unwarranted as they are unfruitful  (Philosophers Quotes) By examining the tongue of a patient, physicians find out the diseases of the body, and philosophers the diseases of the mind  (Philosophers Quotes)
