Indifference

Famous quotes containing the word indifference:

    Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    That other one wanted to think his way to life,
    Sure that the ultimate poem was the mind,
    Or of the mind, or of the mind in these
    Elysia, these days, half earth, half mind;
    Half sun, half thinking of the sun; half sky,
    Half desire for indifference about the sky.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is a matter of perfect indifference where a thing originated; the only question is: “Is it true in and for itself?”
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
