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

“We were like deaf people trying to dance to a beat we couldn't hear, long after the music actually stopped.”

“If you give up what you want most for what you think you should want more, you'll end up miserable.”

“You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way.”

“Personally, I like it much better when someone else does the decision making. That way you have legitimate grounds to whine and complain. I tend to find both whining and complaining quite interesting and amusing, though sometimes--unfortunately--it's hard to choose which one of the two I want to do.”

“Can you feel it? Something just changed. I believe that’s the sound the world makes when it pisses itself.”

“But merely being tradition does not make something worthy, Kadash. We can't just assume that because something is”

“Indulge your passion for science…but let your science be human, and such as may have a direct reference to action and society. Be a philosopher; but amidst all your philosophy, be still a man.”

“One picture puzzle piece”

“On the one hand, all truth is relative; on the other hand, postmodernism tells it like it really is.”

“I think to think. Not to be thought-full, or to reach a point of wisdom or acquire a grace of knowledge. I think for the sensuality of thought.”

“Pragmatism asks its usual question. "Grant an idea or belief to be true," it says, "what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth's cash-value in experiential terms?”

“I never quite understood the question that says, is the glass half empty or half full? What’s the difference? Eventually it’ll end up empty and in the trash.”
