Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

    The purpose of a work of fiction is to appeal to the lingering after-effects in the reader’s mind as differing from, say, the purpose of oratory or philosophy which respectively leave people in a fighting or thoughtful mood.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Wonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
