Famous quotes containing the words philosophy, mind, solutions and/or problem:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“We do not mind our not arriving anywhere nearly so much as our not having any company on the way.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
