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

“An over examination of life can deter you from life itself”

“It is more Important to be of pure intention than of perfect action.”

“Humanity must forgive 'Humanity', for only then can we be Humane.”

“Logic in all its infinite potential, is the most dangerous of vices. For one can always find some form of logic to justify his action, and rest comfortably in the assurance, that what he did abides by reason. That is why, for us brittle beings, Intention is the only true weapon of peace.”

“There is desire in the perfect, beauty in the imperfect.”

“The Purpose of Philosophy is to fall in Love. To strip the world of all its clothes, and fall in Love with it as it stand before you completely naked.”

“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.”

“The business of philosophy is to teach man to live in uncertainty... not to reassure him, but to upset him.”

“He who is in harmony with the Tao”

“It’s the poet we love in Caeiro, not the philosopher. What we really get from these poems is a childlike sense of life, with all the direct materiality of the child’s mind, and all the vital spirituality of hope and increase that exist in the body and soul of nescient childhood. Caeiro’s work is a dawn that wakes us up and quickens us; a more that material, more than anti-spiritual dawn. It’s an abstract effect, pure vacuum, nothingness.”

“Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think…”

“When you choose one way out of many, all the ways you don't take are snuffed out like candles, as if they'd never existed.”
