I saw that philosophy had no power to make my life more bearable. Thus I lost my belief in philosophy.

As a philosopher, I'm not obliged to explore every unknown wilderness.

There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers.

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

My reading of philosophy and history is desultory; I know so much and yet so little.

Philosophy is for the few.

I don't have a philosophy in a nutshell; I would go on and on too much.

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.

Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
