“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Which is it: is man one of God's blunders, or is God one of man's blunders?”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“In the course of my life I have often had intimations in dreams "that I should make music." The same dream came to me sometimes in one form, and sometimes in another, but always saying the same or nearly the same words: Make and cultivate music, said the dream. And hitherto I imagined that this was only intended to exhort and encourage me in the study of philosophy, which has always been the pursuit of my life, and is the noblest and best of music.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Beauty is only two finger’s-breadth from goodness.”
The Common Reader • Virginia Woolf
