Philosophy Quote by Vanessa Diffenbaugh — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion.”

“The absurd does not liberate; it binds. It does not authorize all actions. "Everything is permitted" does not mean that nothing is forbidden.”

Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it.”

“Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”

“All is mystery; but he is a slave who will not struggle to penetrate the dark veil.”

“I hope death will be a great happiness, a happiness as great as that of love, fulfilled love”
