Favourite Quotations
The reason why philosophers and poets are related it this: both are inspired by wonder. – Thomas Aquinas
I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden; he says again and again 'I know that that's a tree', pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell him: 'This fellow isn't insane. We are only doing philosophy. - Ludwig Wittgenstein
