Quote

Without philosophy, history is always for me dead and dumb.

History is Philosophy teaching by example.

I'm not a great fiction reader. I love history. I love history and philosophy.

I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of philosophy.

I've deliberately studied many things that I know, going in, I won't be able to assimilate. I read Plato, St. Thomas, the mystics, to exercise my mind.

I'm very passionate about philosophy and religion.

I am an example of a person who got zeroed into a philosophy early.

I love history, and I thought I knew history well, but I was shocked by how little I knew about it.

I'm taking a philosophy class and regretting it with everything in me. I'm taking one college class per semester. Philosophy is studying what you already know and dismantling it. I thought it would be right up my alley. I can't tell you how much it's not me.
