Famous quotes containing the word philosophers:
“Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier’s servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and the learned.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The profoundest thoughts of the philosophers have something tricklike about them. A lot disappears in order for something to suddenly appear in the palm of the hand.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
