Quotes for: problem
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
René Descartes also said...
To live without philosophizing is properly to have one's eyes closed and never attempt to open them.
