Beat Philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or philosophy:

“They burned with fierce love always to come near,
But honor beat them back and kept them clear.”

“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
