Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “The philosopher’s conception of things will, above all, be truer than other men’s, and his philosophy will subordinate all the circumstances of life. To live like a philosopher is to live, not foolishly, like other men, but wisely and according to universal laws.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My philosophy is that to be a director you cannot be subject to anyone, even the head of the studio. I threatened to quit each time I didn’t get my way, but no one ever let me walk out.”
    —Dorothy Arzner (1900–1979)

    “Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?”
    —Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)
