Beat Philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or philosophy:

“I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“The philosophy of hedonism means little to lovers of pleasure. They have no inclination to read philosophy, or to write it.”
