To live without philosophizing is properly to have one's eyes closed and never attempt to open them.
Quotes about philosophy:
Happiness is the goal of philosophy. Or to be more precise, the goal of philosophy is wisdom, and therefore happiness.
Quotes about soul:
At any moment you choose you can retire within yourself. Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Quotes about culture:
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.'
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
