Sublime Philosophy/18th Century

Famous quotes containing the words sublime and/or philosophy:

    I tell you solemnly
    That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes—
    What a sublime end of one’s body, what an enskyment; what a life
    after death.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    A life-worshipper’s philosophy is comprehensive.... He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death ... and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
