Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.

The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.

Telling someone something he does not understand is pointless, even if you add that he will not be able to understand it.

6.4311 Der Tod ist kein Ereignis des Lebens. Den Tod erlebt man nicht. Wenn man unter Ewigkeit nicht unendliche Zeitdauer, sondern Unzeitlichkeit versteht, dann lebt der ewig, der in der Gegenwart lebt. Unser Leben ist ebenso endlos, wie unser Gesichtsfeld grenzenlos ist. 6.4311 Death is not an event of life. Death is not lived through. If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present. Our life is endless in the way that our visual field is without limit.

I think I summed up my attitude to philosophy when I said: philosophy ought really to be written only as a poetic composition.
