Favourite Philosopher

All of them; they are not objects of my taste, but innate components of my intellect.

Favourite Quotations

“We are products of the past and we live immersed in the past, which encompasses us. How can we move towards the new life, how create new activities without getting out of the past and without placing ourselves above it? And how can we place ourselves above the past if we are in it and it is in us? There is no other way out except through thought, which does not break off relations with the past but rises ideally above it and converts it into knowledge.”
? Benedetto Croce
