Philosopher

“The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“What the philosopher is seeking is not truth, but rather the metamorphosis of the world into man.”
