Quotes About Philosophy

Én lehiggadtam, és hagytam telni a napokat; ez a legjobb módja, hogy eloszlassunk vagy szétkergessünk bizonyos dolgokat a valóságban, még ha örökre a gondolatainkban és a birtokunkban is maradnak, szilárdan és rothadón, rettenetes b?zt árasztva magukból.

Asking for physical proof for God's existence is like asking for proof of the existence of energy. Energy is everywhere. We assume its existence because we see its effects. We can understand the sources of energy and the forms it takes. We can devise theories about how energy changes and how energy behaves, but if I wanted to obstinately doubt the existence of energy how could anyone prove its existence?
