Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end,
when philosophic thought has done its best,
the wonder remains. ∼ Alfred North Whitehead
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize. ∼ Blaise Pascal
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
Being a philosopher, I have a problem for every solution. ∼ Robert Zend
To teach how to live with uncertainty,
yet without being paralyzed by hesitation,
is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do. ∼ Bertrand Russell
"The pragmatic rule is that the meaning of a concept may always be found,
if not in some sensible particular which it directly designates,
then in some particular difference in the course of human experience which its being true will make." ∼ William James
