Philosophy Quotes
-
If we include hedonistic philosophy in hospitals, the lives of patients suffering from cancer would be much, much better.
Michel Onfray

Maurice Merleau-Ponty
-
Economics is a study of cause-and-effect relationships in an economy. It's purpose is to discern the consequences of various ways of allocating resources which have alternative uses. It has nothing to say about philosophy or values, anymore than it has to say about music or literature.
Thomas Sowell
