Famous quotes containing the word philosophers:

    “The truth has never been of any real value to any human being—it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “You ask: What is it that philosophers have called qualitative states? I answer, only half in jest: As Louis Armstrong is said to have said when asked what jazz is, ‘If you got to ask, you ain’t never gonna get to know.’”
    —Ned Block (b. 1942)
