Philosophy Quote by Carla VanKoughnett — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Everybody we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?”

“The absurd does not liberate; it binds. It does not authorize all actions. "Everything is permitted" does not mean that nothing is forbidden.”

“When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly.”

“People ought to fight”

“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains" - Rousseau”

“The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.”
