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

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

“Excessive praise arises from the same bigotry matrix as excessive criticism.”

“Truth has nothing to do with the conclusion, and everything to do with the methodology.”

“You cannot connect with anyone except through reality.”

“The tombstone over the grave of the conscience always reads: "Human Nature".”

“Awkward silences rule the world. People are so terrified of awkward silences that they will literally go to war rather than face an awkward silence.”

“On the Samael Qlipha, the magician makes a pact with the dark forces and realizes the invitation of Friedrich Neitzsche to re-evaluate old values. Insanity becomes wisdom; death becomes life. Samael is the 'Poison of God.' Here is where illusions are poisoned, and all categories and conceptions are deconstructed until nothing is left. The dark side of the astral plane could be compared to a chalice filled with poison or an intoxicating fluid. While Gamaliel is the chalice, Samael is the elixir and the following lower Qlipha, A'arab Zaraq, is where the magician experiences the effect.”

“Compassion is the basis of all morality”

“To will is to stir up paradoxes”

“Using your talent, hobby or profession in a way that makes you contribute with something good to this world is truly the way to go.”

“The root of humanly caused evil is not man's animal nature, not territorial aggression, or innate selfishness, but our need to gain self-esteem, deny our mortality, and achieve a heroic self-image. Our desire for the best is the cause of the worst.”
