Philosophy Quote by Felix Alba-Juez — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Without causality in the world, there is no point in educating people, or making any moral or political appeal.”

“Teaching the layperson (divulgare) is not distorting (tergiversare) the subject, but educating the public; and it is our duty as scientists to educate without distorting the essence of the scientific knowledge attained by humanity. The future of our society depends upon this premise.”

“Why is it so difficult for us to think in relative terms? Well, for the good reason that human nature loves absoluteness, and erroneously considers it as a state of higher knowledge.”

“Truth is not as pompous and romantic as myth ... but it has the immeasurable value of being the Truth.”

“If Relativity Theory kills our deepest convictions, why not start by finding out why we believed in them for millennia?”

“When we say two bodies 'touch', what we mean (without knowing it) is that both electromagnetic fields are interacting to avoid physical interpenetration and ... that happens well before subatomic particles touch!”

“But is all this true?" said Brutha.”

“Care and Quality are internal and external aspects of the same thing. A person who sees Quality and feels it as he works is a person who cares. A person who cares about what he sees and does is a person who’s bound to have some characteristic of quality.”

“If you were offered the chance to live your own life again, would you seize the opportunity? The only real philosophical answer is automatically self-contradictory: 'Only if I did not know that I was doing so.' To go through the entire experience once more would be banal and Sisyphean—even if it did build muscle—whereas to wish to be young again and to have the benefit of one's learned and acquired existence is not at all to wish for a repeat performance, or a Groundhog Day. And the mind ought to, but cannot, set some limits to wish-thinking. All right, same”

“If those at your top are weak, your bottom will be rotten”

“In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realization, the person ceases.”
