Famous quotes containing the words philosophy and/or mind:

    “A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things. Without a philosophy and a psychology and all these various other things he is not really worthy of being called a writer. I agree with Kant and Schopenhauer and Plato and Spinoza and that is quite enough to be called a philosophy. But then of course a philosophy is not the same thing as a style.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “The mind scolds the heart, which makes excuses and goes its own way.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
