Philosophy is the opposite of fairy tales

But all fairytales have rules, and perhaps it’s their rules that actually distinguish one fairytale from the other. These rules never need to be understood. They only need to be followed. If not, what they promise won’t come true.

We can't own each other's past. The questioin is whether we have a future together.

Where both reason and experience fall short, there occurs a vacuum that can be filled by faith.

You can never know if a person forgives you when you wrong them. Therefore it is existentially important to you. It is a question you are intensely concerned with. Neither can you know whether a person loves you. It’s something you just have to believe or hope. But these things are more important to you than the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. You don't think about the law of cause and effect or about modes of perception when you are in the middle of your first kiss.

To wonder about life is not something we learn; it is something we forget.

Wasn’t it extraordinary to be in the world right now, wandering around in a wonderful adventure!
