Famous quotes containing the words philosophy and/or works:

    “Irish? In truth I would not want to be anything else. It is a state of mind as well as an actual country. It is being at odds with other nationalities, having quite different philosophy about pleasure, about punishment, about life, and about death. At least it does not leave one pusillanimous.”
    —Edna O’Brien (b. c. 1932)

    “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
    crowned him with glory and honor.
    Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 5–6)
