Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings?

Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.

One can only become a philosopher, but not be one. As one believes he is a philosopher, he stops being one.

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.

The main engagement of the writer is towards truthfulness; therefore he must keep his mind and his judgement free.

Truth is the object of philosophy, but not always of philosophers.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Only as an individual can man become a philosopher.

When truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
