Time/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or philosophy:

“People who don’t know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

“When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
