Zitat des Tages über Philosoph / Philosopher:

To decide to become a philosopher seemed as foolish to me as to decide to become a poet.

Jeffrey Deitch

Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.

A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages... in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy.

Charles Babbage

If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all been to seduce women basically.

Jean-Paul Sartre

A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.

I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'

The novelist, he's not a philosopher, not a technician of spoken language. He's someone who writes, above all, and through the novel asks questions.

There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers.

William James

Like the philosopher, the author views his task as one of establishing a clear connection between life and history, and of making the past bear fruit for the present and future.

Lion Feuchtwanger

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!

William James

To me, Turing is as much of a philosopher as he is a mathematician because his ideas deal with what it means to think.

Desiderius Erasmus

Well, I don't know if I can comment on Kant or Hegel because I'm no real philosopher in the sense of knowing what these people have said in any detail so let me not comment on that too much.
