"Philosophy is not a theory but an activity."

Philosophy

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

Truth

"The face is the soul of the body."

Soul

"Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself."

Nothing

"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

"Philosophy should make clear and delimit sharply the thoughts which otherwise are, as it were, opaque and blurred."

Philosophy

"At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded."

Philosophy

"Getting hold of the difficulty deep down is what is hard. Because if it is grasped near the surface it simply remains the difficulty it was. It has to be pulled out by the roots; and that involves our beginning to think about these things in a new way. The change is as decisive as, for example, that from the alchemical to the chemical way of thinking. The new way of thinking is what is so hard to establish. Once the new way of thinking has been established, the old problems vanish; indeed they become hard to recapture. For they go with our way of expressing ourselves and, if we clothe ourselves in a new form of expression, the old problems are discarded along with the old garment."

Growth

"I act with complete certainty. But this certainty is my own."

Conviction

"There are two godheads: the world and my independent I. I am either happy or unhappy, that is all. It can be said: good or evil do not exist. A man who is happy must have no fear. Not even in the face of death. Only a man who lives not in time but in the present is happy."
