"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Albert Einstein
"When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth."
Albert Einstein

Albert Camus
"Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations."
Aldous Huxley

Ambrose Bierce

Aristotle

Author Unknown
"What do you know and how do you know it?"
Ayn Rand
"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it."
Bertrand Russell
"Philosophers, for the most part, are constitutionally timid, and dislike the unexpected. Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines."
Bertrand Russell
"To teach how to live with uncertainty, yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do."
Bertrand Russell
"Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed."
Blaise Pascal
"To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize."
Blaise Pascal
"I'm a philosophy major. That means I can think deep thoughts about being unemployed."
Bruce Lee
"If we did not bring to the examinations of our instincts a knowledge of their comparative dignity we could never learn it from them."
C.S. Lewis
"Consciousness is either inexplicable illusion, or else revelation."
C.S. Lewis
"You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it."
C.S. Lewis
