Philosophy Quote by John Alejandro King aka The Covert Comic — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Always jump to collusions.”

“If I knew then what I know now, by now I probably wouldn't know it.”

“A tiger can’t eat you if you hide in a lion’s stomach.”

“I'd rather have less time than I think, than less think than I have time.”

“A dog only urinates on that which stands firm.”

“Each voice carries a portion of value, no matter how unpalatable or distasteful that voice may be: no one person, government, ideology, transnational, or religious institution can own and dominate the whole.”

“Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.”

“إنني أستعرض جميع ما كُتب، فلا تميل نفسي إلا إلى ما كتبه الانسان بقطرات دمه. اكتب بدمك فتعلم حينئذ أن الدم روح، وليس بالسهل أن يفهم الإنسان دماً غريباً، إنني أبغض كل قارئ كسول لأن من يقرأ لا يخدم القراءة بشئ، واذا مر قرن آخر على طغمة القارئين فلا بد من أن تتصاعد رائح النتن من التفكير”

“They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the same could be said for time.”

“In practice people who study philosophy too long become very odd birds, not to say thoroughly vicious; while even those who are the best of them are reduced by...[philosophy] to complete uselessness as members of society.”
