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

“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.”

“Man looks on woman from his vantage point and reduces her to a being that is not for-itself but for-him.”

“that you would not anticipate misery since the evils you dread as coming upon you may perhaps never reach you at least they are not yet come Thus some things torture us more than they ought, some before they ought and some which ought never to torture us at all. We heighten our pain either by presupposing a cause or anticipation”

“We are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.”

“Supposing there is no life everlasting. Think what it means if death is really the end of all things. They've given up all for nothing. They've been cheated. They're dupes.”

“Visible objects therefore do not perish utterly, since nature repairs one thing from another and allows nothing to be born without the aid of another's death.”

“I’d like to be the moon in your sky.”

“People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.”
