Love, your own witch-daughter, Queen of the Mirror and the Highest Protector of Irony

People are, generally speaking, either dead certain or totally indifferent.

Let me put it more precisely: The ability to give birth is a natural characteristic. In the same way, everybody can grasp philosophical truths if they just use their innate reason.

When we look up at the sky, we are trying to find the way to ourselves.

That fact that Athens could condemn its noblest citizen to death did more than make a profound impression on him. It was to shape the course of his entire philosophic endeavor.

Kierkegaard also said that truth is `subjective`. By this he did not mean it doesn't matter what we think or believe. He meant that the really important truths are personal. Only these truths are `true for me`.

The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder.
