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

“One must not avoid Schopenhauer. One should read him and then overcome him. It is the ladder that you must get rid of once you reach the top.”

“Revolutions are the things of the past. The current generation believes we get one life, and we should enjoy and live it to the fullest. That’s why they don’t know what sacrifice means. Revolution requires sacrifices and the people of today are neither willing nor capable of sacrifice. Therefore, we can’t have revolutions today. All we can have now are movements.”

“Only an arrogant man can sense arrogance in others.”

“When something terrible happens, people respond to it in two ways. Either they lose their faith in God altogether, or they start believing in him even more.”

“In this twenty-first century, reality is virtual and truth is broader.”

“The word ‘God’ is a part of language and its grammar. Even if the whole world turns atheist tomorrow, the incredible arrangement of these three letters would still survive.”

“Between "everywhere" and "forever" there is no compromise.”

“Stop longing. You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.”

“Men have such a good opinion of themselves, of their mental superiority and intellectual depth; they believe themselves so skilled in discerning the true from the false, the path of safety from those of error, that they should be forbidden as much as possible the perusal of philosophic writings.”

“Deprived of choice”

“We must have a new mythology, but it must place itself at the service of ideas, it must become a mythology of reason. Mythology must become philosophical, so that the people may become rational, and philosophy must become mythological, so that philosophers may become sensible. If we do not give ideas a form that is aesthetic, i.e., mythological, they will hold no interest for people.”

“We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing, a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.”
