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

“An intelligent man is one who acknowledges his intelligence as that of those who surround him.”

“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.”

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

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

“I think to think. Not to be thought-full, or to reach a point of wisdom or acquire a grace of knowledge. I think for the sensuality of thought.”

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

“If you want to bring the world closer to peace, be a peacemaker by creating peace whenever you can. If you find yourself engaged in an argument that only stirs anger in the heart, quickly make peace and carry on.”

“To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.”

“Measure your day not by the money you're earning but by the unconditional love that you're giving away.”

“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。”

“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.”

“Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear: Tat tvam asi, this is you. Or, again, in such words as 'I am in the east and in the west, I am below and above, I am this whole world'.”
