Philosophy Quote by Noël Coward — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Television is for appearing on - not for looking at.”

“Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy”

“A bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving nightmare”

“I have been accused of a habit of changing my opinions. I am not myself in any degree ashamed of having changed my opinions. What physicist who was already active in 1900 would dream of boasting that his opinions had not changed during the last half century? In science men change their opinions when new knowledge becomes available; but philosophy in the minds of many is assimilated rather to theology than to science. The kind of philosophy that I value and have endeavoured to pursue is scientific, in the sense that there is some definite knowledge to be obtained and that new discoveries can make the admission of former error inevitable to any candid mind. For what I have said, whether early or late, I do not claim the kind of truth which theologians claim for their creeds. I claim only, at best, that the opinion expressed was a sensible one to hold at the time when it was expressed. I should be much surprised if subsequent research did not show that it needed to be modified. I hope, therefore, that whoever uses this dictionary will not suppose the remarks which it quotes to be intended as pontifical pronouncements, but only as the best I could do at the time towards the promotion of clear and accurate thinking. Clarity, above all, has been my aim.”

“妳知道嗎？滑雪的跳躍，看起來像是跳得很高，其實是往下跳喔，因為起跳點的角度是負的⋯⋯ 我認為，跳躍不只是在追求高度。”
