Famous quotes containing the word philosophers:
“Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldiers 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 (16231662)
“Shes in the house.
Shes at turn after turn.
Shes behind me.
Shes in front of me.
Shes in my bed.
Shes on path after path,
and Im weak from want of her.
O heart,
there is no reality for me
other than she she
she she she she
in the whole of the reeling world.
And philosophers talk about Oneness.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the learned.”
—Blaise Pascal (16231662)
