Famous quotes containing the word philosophers:
“Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier’s servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
