Philosophy Quotes
I am a sworn atheist and therefore from my point of view the Talmud or the Koran don't constitute works of political philosophy but rather writings that stand in utter contradiction to concepts like logic, freedom, feminism, secularism, brotherhood - which are my ideals.
Michel Onfray
Philosophy is the childhood of the intellect, and a culture that tries to skip it will never grow up.
Thomas Nagel
We must reason in natural philosophy not from what we hope, or even expect, but from what we perceive.
Humphry Davy
The only real distinction at this dangerous moment in human history and cosmic development has nothing to do with medals and ribbons. Not to fall asleep is distinguished. Everything else is mere popcorn.
Saul Bellow

Bob Marley
Although you may have never sat down and defined what your philosophy is, it is fully operative and working in your life at all times. It deals with what you believe about the world in which you live, about its people and events, about how you affect them.

The way in which we manage the business of getting and spending is closely tied to our personal philosophy of living.

Judy Blume
Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember.

Arthur Conan Doyle
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.

Perhaps, you know, new laws, new domains of potential openness are occurring as the universe ages, and complexity previously disallowed is now possible, and we are that complexity. We are nature moving out of its genetic phase - a phase under the control of chemical genes, which are physical structures, in to an epigenetic phase, a phase of culture ruled by codes, transformable culturally confined codes - mathematics, religion, philosophy, art, dance, humor.
Terence McKenna
Philosophy is good advice, and no one gives good advice at the top of his lungs.
Seneca the Younger
