Citat

[Anna Sara]

Jag hittade ingen sån här tråd.. som kan göra oss intresserade av filosofer vi inte ägnat uppmärksamheten.. men det behöver inte vara citat ifrån filosofer..

[Mr.M]

min favorit är:
"Ett väldefinierat problem är ett till hälften löst problem"
Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958)

och:
"Det är lätt att sätta ihop en filosofi. Den behöver ju inte fungera."

[Anna Sara]

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephantand the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things. -Pablo Picasso

[klaustrofobi]

"Even in your folly and despising ye each serve your Self, ye despisers of the body. I tell you, your very Self wanteth to die, and turnerth away from life. No longer can your Self do that which it desireth the most – create beyond itself. To succumb – so wisheth your Self. And therefore are ye now angry with life and with the earth. And unconscious envy is in the sidelong look of your contempt.

It is the same with man as with the tree. The moore he seeketh to rise inte the height and light, the more vigorosuly do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark and deep – into the evil. – I change too quickly; my today refuteth my yesterday. I often overleap the steps when I clamber; for so doing, none of the steps pardon me. When aloft, I find myself always alone. No one speaketh with me: the frost of solitude maketh me tremble. What do I seek on the height? This tree standeth lonely here on the hills. And if it wanted to speak, it would have none who could understand it; so high hath it grown. Now it waitheth and waiitheth – for what doth it wait? It dwelleth too close to the seat of the clouds; it waiteth perhaps for the first lightning?

Sombre is human life, and as yet without meaning: a buffoon may be fateful to it. I love all who are like heavy drops falling one by one out of the dark cloud that lowererth over man: they herald the coming of the lightning, and succumb as heralds. But the wind, which we see not, troubleth and bendeth it as it listeth. We are sorest bent and troubled by invisible hands.

There is always some madness in love. But there is always, also, some method in madness. I should only beleive in a God thath would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity – through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter do we slay! Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity! I learned to walk; since then have I let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from spot to spot. Now am I light, now do I fly; now do I see myself under myself. Now there danceth a God in me."

[Johan Ågren]

My own attitude is that philosophy should sharpen concepts, make them more useful, and should not distort them beyond all recognition and use.
