Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    Englishmen are babes in philosophy and so prefer faction-fighting to the labour of its unfamiliar thought.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It is not easy to make our lives respectable by any course of activity. We must repeatedly withdraw into our shells of thought, like the tortoise, somewhat helplessly; yet there is more than philosophy in that.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In philosophy if you aren’t moving at a snail’s pace you aren’t moving at all.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
