To convince someone of the truth, it is not enough to state it, but rather one must find the path from error to truth.
The philosopher is not a citizen of any community of ideas, that is what makes him a philosopher.
When we can't think for ourselves, we can always quote
The world is the totality of facts, not of things
There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.
When you are philosophizing you have to descend into primeval chaos and feel at home there.
