Philosophy Quote by Rene Daumal — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“This place has only three exits, sir: Madness, and Death.”

“I am dead because I lack desire,”

“In weariness, existence is like the reminder of a commitment to exist, with all the seriousness and harshness of an irrevocable contract. One has to do something, one has to aspire after and undertake [...] In weariness we want to escape existence itself, and not only one of its landscapes in a longing for more beautiful skies. An evasion without an itinerary and without an end, it is not trying to come ashore somewhere.”

“All is flux”

“We are the hollow men”

“Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city of philosophy: Do not block the way of inquiry.”

“If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.”

“Search of truth is actually a search of strength to handle the truth.”
