There is no place in the world, I imagine, for a philosopher with a sense of humor, a new leisure, and an inquiring turn of mind!
Mary Roberts Rinehart
Image
The cheap but simple human emotion of envy is the driving force of all socialism, of all anti-capitalist philosophy. It is the mark of the intellectual.
Andrew Joseph Galambos
Image
Anyway -- because we are readers, we don't have to wait for some communications executive to decide what we should think about next -- and how we should think about it. We can fill our heads with anything from aardvarks to zucchinis -- at any time of night or day.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
When we remove the snowdrift piled up over Chekhov in recent years, we uncover a man profoundly agitated by social problems a writer whose social ideals are the same as those we live by a philosophy of the divinity of man, of fervent faith in man - the faith that moves mountains.
Yevgeny Zamyatin

Decrying the mismanagement that led to the summer's catastrophic wildfires: The Clinton administration didn't cause these fires, but their policies have left the Forest Service under-funded and under-prepared for this crisis. I don't think it's a conspiracy, but it's a philosophy they have that leads to explosive fires that destroy everything.
Marc Racicot

Be good, and you will be lonesome, be lonesome and you will be free. Live a lie and you will live to regret it, that's what living is to me.
Jimmy Buffett
Image
The philosopher says--I am, and the church scouts his philosophy. She answers:--No! you are NOT, you have no existence of your own. You were and are and ever will be only a part of the supreme I AM, of which the church is the emblem.
Henry Adams
Image
The only measures that count are progress over your own self, and triumph over the vacant abstractions that most people mistake for thinking.
Kenny Smith
Image
For the establishment, philosophy is both an elitist and an idealist discipline: In high school, it is a compulsory subject at university, they teach the idealist line. They are conducting a conversation with themselves.
Michel Onfray
Image
It's no use trying to talk philosophy to our politicians. And I'm not a moral or political philosopher. I'm not interested in that.
Marjorie Grene
Image
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
Judy Blume
Image
I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
Evolutionism is a religious world view that is not supported by science, Scripture, popular opinion, or common sense. The exclusive teaching of this dangerous, mind-altering philosophy in tax supported schools, parks, museums, etc. is a clear violation of the First Amendment.
Kent Hovind
Image
The ductless glands secrete among other things our moods, our aspirations, our philosophy of life.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If this is philosophy it is at any rate a philosophy that is not in its right mind.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Image
To a philosopher no circumstance, however trifling, is too minute.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
My philosophy is, murder the rapist in your mind so you stop killing yourself. I've seen, in my lifetime, that sexual abuse has turned into self-abuse. When I kill the rapist inside of me, I will stop killing myself.
Margaret Cho
Image
Management philosophy: Pay attention to the vital fiew and ignore the trivial many. I could go insane if I obsessed over every little details of all my companies.
John Paul DeJoria
Image
A major danger in using highly abstractive methods in political philosophy is that one will succeed merely in generalizing one's own local prejudices and repackaging them as demands of reason. The study of history can help to counteract this natural human bias.
Raymond Geuss
Image
In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering among innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In college, I was dead set on being a philosophy major, because I wanted to figure out the meaning of life. Four years later I realized philosophy had really nothing to say about the meaning of life, and psychology and literature are really where it's at.
Jonathan Haidt
Image
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
Voltaire
Image
The service of philosophy, of speculative culture, towards the human spirit, is to rouse, to startle it to a life of constant and eager observation.
Walter Pater
Image
Philosophy is a goddess, whose head indeed is in heaven, but whose feet are upon earth she attempts more than she accomplishes, and promises more than she performs.
Charles Caleb Colton
