Those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.

Philosophers Quotes : pic 000705960
Philosophy has been a masked ball in which a religious image of humankind is renewed in the guise humanist ideas of progress and enlightenment. Even philosophy's greatest unmaskers have ended up as figures in the masquerade. Removing the masks from our animal faces is a task that has hardly begun.

Philosophy is not a spectator sport.
Philosophers Quotes : pic 000463019

Philosophers Quotes : pic 001467659
It is as absurd to expect members of philosophy departments to be philosophers as it is to expect members of art departments to be artists.
Philosophers Quotes : pic 000040733

A philosophy which speaks, even indirectly, only to philosophers is no philosophy at all; and I think the same is true if it speaks only to scientists, or only to jurists, or priests, or any other special class.

Above all the genuine philosopher will generally seek lucidity and clarity and will always strive not to be like a turbid, raging, rain-swollen stream, but much more like a Swiss lake, which, in its peacefulness, combines great depth with a great clarity that just reveals its great depth.
