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

“Those who make conversations impossible, make escalation inevitable.”

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

“Self-manipulation is our medication. Mythology is our drug. The only cure is honesty.”

“You cannot connect with anyone except through reality.”

“Honesty requires that we communicate our thoughts and feelings, not our conclusions.”

“The three most important words in a relationship are not, 'I love you,' but, 'Tell me more.”

“By heavens! there is something after all in the world allowing one man to steal a horse while another must not look at a halter. Steal a horse straight out. Very well. He has done it. Perhaps he can ride. But there is a way of looking at a halter that would provoke the most charitable of saints into a kick.”

“He will essentially follow the language of the spectacle, for it is the only one he is familiar with.”

“If I were to ask you to open two novels, and compare the circumstances of each protagonist, asking you to chose who is “better,” you may find this ridiculous. You may tell me these characters have been forged in two different worlds, around different people, and they each have their own inherent purposes. They’re traveling different paths, and they’ll traverse their paths at different speeds, as their meant to. Great. So as such, never again compare yourself to another.”

“It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment.”

“Philosophy lives in words, but truth and fact well up into our lives in ways that exceed verbal formulation.”
