World/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or philosophy:

“Novelists are perhaps the last people in the world to be entrusted with opinions. The nature of a novel is that it has no opinions, only the dialectic of contrary views, some of which, all of which, may be untenable and even silly. A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although ... he may be permitted to be an intellectual.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)

“A philosopher once said, “Half of good philosophy is good grammar.””
—A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)
