Weeping Philosopher

Famous quotes containing the words weeping and/or philosopher:

    Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable
    dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in
    armies! Old men weeping in the parks!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
