Philosophy Quote by Stefan Molyneux — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Sanity is not about confrontation. It's about filtering. Having a stable and happy life is about saying "no" to crazy people, not about inviting them in and then hoping that confrontations are going to make them sane.”

“Deep connection is the antidote to madness.”

“Imagining that you are deep and complex, but others are simple, is one of the primary signs of malignant selfishness.”

“There's a huge swath of humanity that has developed verbal abilities to extract resources from guilt-ridden people.”

“Excuses are a promise of repetition.”

“Guilt is a feeling that you owe a debt that you're not paying.”

“A culture is made — or destroyed — by its articulate voices.”

“God save me from fools with a little philosophy—no one is more difficult to reach.”

“..the most dangerous animal in a zoo is Man.”

“What's the survival value of obsessing on a sunset?”

“It does not follow, because our ancestors made so many errors of fact and mixed them with their religion, that we should therefore leave off being religious at all. By being religious we establish ourselves in possession of ultimate reality at the only points at which reality is given us to guard. Our responsible concern is with our private destiny, after all.”

“É muito mais lisonjeiro,(...)lutar-se por alguma coisa bela e ideal e saber ao mesmo tempo que não se conseguirá alcançá-la. Os ideais serão algo que se possa alcançar? Viveremos para cabar com a morte? Não, viveremos para temê-la e também para amá-la, e precisamente por causa da morte é que nossa vida vez por outra resplandece tão radiosa num belo instante.”
