Quotes About Philosophy

Man is no longer man enclosed, but man in debt.

Spinoza or Nietzsche are philosophers whose critical and destructive powers are without equal, but this power always springs from affirmation, from joy, from a cult of affirmation and joy, from the exigency of life against those who would mutilate and mortify life. For me, that is philosophy itself.

C'est le destin de la ruse que de paraître trop simple à des savants trop naïfs
