Quote

Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible.

Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery.

Philosophy begins in wonder.

Each individual fact, taken by itself, can indeed arouse our curiosity or our astonishment, or be useful to us in its practical applications.

Philosophy is the product of wonder.

Unlike the interference of ordinary interest, power, or prejudice, which touches philosophy only at its outskirts and becomes at most a matter for philosophical tactics, the claim of revelation to the highest truth touches philosophy at its core and must affect its whole strategy.

Outrageous behavior, also known as the lunatic fringe, is the seed bed of innovation and creativity.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.
