Everything that the modern mind cannot define it regards as insane - C.G Jung

[Mr. Bubbles]

Bertrand Russell: Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know.



Cicero:
There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it.



Freda Adler:
Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.



George Bernard Shaw:
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.






H. L. Mencken: Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself.

Immanuel Kant:
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.



Mark Twain:
All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.

To know oneself, one must assert oneself. - Albert Camus

[afghooey]

"You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes." -- Alan Watts

"Camus said there is only really one serious philosophical question, which is whether or not to commit suicide. I think there are four or five serious philosophical questions:
The first one is: Who started it?
The second is: Are we going to make it?
The third is: Where are we going to put it?
The fourth is: Who's going to clean up?
And the fifth: Is it serious?"
-- Alan Watts

"All that is transient is but a symbol." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
