"It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed "Wisdom." And then I know exactly what is going to follow: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.""

Cultural

"Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony."

Attitude

"When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of."

Truth

"If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration, but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present."

Presence

"There is a truth in Schopenhauer's view that philosophy is an organism, and that a book on philosophy, with a beginning and end, is a sort of contradiction. ... In philosophy matters are not simple enough for us to say 'Let's get a rough idea', for we do not know the country except by knowing the connections between the roads."

Philosophy

"A picture of a complete apple tree, however accurate, is in a certain sense much less like the tree itself than is a little daisy."

Nature

"The agreement or disagreement or its sense with reality constitutes its truth or falsity."
