Famous quotes containing the word philosophers:

    Although philosophers generally believe in laws and deny causes, explanatory practice in physics is just the reverse.
    Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)

    It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    She’s in the house.
    She’s at turn after turn.
    She’s behind me.
    She’s in front of me.
    She’s in my bed.
    She’s on path after path,
    and I’m weak from want of her.
    O heart,
    there is no reality for me
    other than she she
    she she she she
    in the whole of the reeling world.
    And philosophers talk about Oneness.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
