I'm an artist, not a philosopher.

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

I'm not a philosopher, I'm just a simple boy from East Ham.

Only as an individual can man become a philosopher.

I am a fictionalizing philosopher, not a novelist.

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

My philosophy is it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

It's hard for me to imagine a philosopher disconnected from the world, indifferent to the cares of his country, unmoved by poverty, unemployment: I am a committed citizen.

You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.

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