"Whoever wishes to become a philosopher must learn not to be frightened by absurdities."
Philosophy
"The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge."
Life
"A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known."
Progress
"I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex."
Food
"When a man tells you he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring he is an inexact man."
Philosophy
"Boredom is a vital problem for the moralist since at least half of the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it."
Morality
"The central problem of our age is how to act decisively in the absence of certainty."
Decision
"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd."
Fact
"For the young, there is nothing unattainable; a good thing desired with the whole force of a passionate will, and yet impossible, is to them not credible. Yet, by death, by illness, by poverty, or by the voice of duty, we must learn, each one of us, that the world was not made for us, and that, however beautiful may be the things we crave, Fate may nevertheless forbid them. It is the part of courage, when misfortune comes, to bear without regretting the ruin of our hopes, to turn away our thoughts from vain regrets. This degree of submission to power is not only just and right: it is the very gate of wisdom."
Youth
"Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims, and achieved fewer results, than any other branch of learning."
